Hello all - I'm mudding the drywall in my garage. I used the normal paper tape and it seemed to go up OK. Last night I put on the first coat of mud over the tape. For the most part it looks OK, but in a few places the mud is cracking slightly. Most of the cracks are a 1/4" or less.
First, any idea why this happened? I know people will say I put the mud on too thick, but I don't think so. I tested the thickness of my mud as I was putting it up and it was around 1/16".
Second, can I put my second coat of mud over these small cracks or do I need to remove it and start over?
