That moment I stopped backrolling every coat of mud
Tbh, I spent like 3 years thinking you had to backroll every layer of joint compound to get a smooth finish. Then I was working on a job near Austin last summer, and this older guy I was sharing a site with asked why I was making extra work. He showed me how if you just lay it on right with the taping knife on the first two coats, you skip a whole step. Honestly, I tried it on my next room and saved about 45 minutes per wall. Has anyone else found a method they were taught that turned out to be optional?
