Default Sheetrock joint compound - wrong for small holes?

Hi,

I patched a small hole (3"x3" and used that white mesh) with sheetrock
joint compounded (big bucket with a green lid) and it's still wet
after 2 days. Maybe it's due to the humid weather conditions, but
could it be that I should use some other material for patching holes
and that this is more for drywalling?

Thanks!

Aaron Fude.


You have the material. Thinner coats of compound is better. I never
try to patch, fix and finish all at once! I come back tomorrow,
because I get better every day, heh!
