I recently put up drywall in my garage (two wall and ceiling). I
started to do the taping and mudding part and I have a question about
the consistency of the mud. The five gallon bucket of mud says to add
water to get the correct consistency. Being that this is my first
major drywall project, I'm not sure what consistency to look for.
Does anyone have a recommendation for the amount of water to add to a
five gallon bucket of mud? or how to gauge the correct consistency?
