Watched a guy in Tampa tape a corner with a 4-inch knife and realized I'd been overworking my mud for years.

He got a perfect feather in two passes while I was still fussing with a third coat. Anyone else find a simple trick that cut their corner time in half?

Taping with a knife sounds like a good way to mess up your drywall lol

It's like that with so many things now. People skip the basics and wonder why their work looks bad.

I've seen some really clean work from folks who learned on the fly. Sometimes the basics are just different now, like using a good mud pan and a 6-inch knife instead of a trowel for a first timer. It's more about patience and sanding than any one right way to start.
