Default Finishing Drywall

Just a few tips here.

You should be sure to use a 3/8" notch trowel to apply the mix, toss a
little sand in it to give it strength, and note that tissue paper works
just as well as those *expensive* fibreglass alternatives.


Now that made me laugh out loud.

But serially, to get truly flat walls, I just start with a
texture sprayer and spray a 1/4" thick coat on the wall.
Screed with an aluminum concrete screed and then apply tape.
Repeat as necessary.
