1. One or more buckets of drywall taping compound (drying type, not
setting)
2. Trowel

3. Trowel it on, try to keep as smooth as possible.

4. When it is dry (next day or longer) take a large, damp sponge and
start wiping. As you wipe, the compound will be removed from high
spots and deposited in low ones. If it looks good after it dries,
prime and paint; if not, go back to #3.

What I have read is that the gypsum based material is very sensitive to
moisture and that you need an air space between like a lath. However, that
being said, just how much moisture are they talking about. Being the wall is
inside are they talking about real humid days, or direct contact with a
substantial amount of water. The drywall compound would be the easiest to
do, but will it last.
