Any reason not to use my ROS to smooth out the joint compound on a small -- 12x10 -- drywall repair?


A bucket of water and a sponge is fast, easy and cleaner.

Does that work after the mud has dried?


Yes, I use Easy Sand 90 for the first coat, my sponge method if
satisfied then I prime, then finishing compound and sponge, prime
again.

If I take my time and take off my glasses (being nearsighted in one
eye and 20/20 in the other) to inspect you won't see the repair.
