Thanks guys for the sugguestions. I realize now that I should have
used a drywall primer on the new drywall to even out the porosity and
textural difference between the paper and the drywall compound. Now
that I have two coats of paint on, is it too late to apply a coat of
drywall primer and another coat of paint.? Or is it best to apply a
skim coat? (I did see a Youtube video on Level 5 finishing that was
very interesting.) I have a cathedral ceiling where it is most
obviously showing the seams under certain lighting conditions. I don't
think another coat of paint will cover it up.
