I've read a lot of articles on patching the cracks in our plaster walls so I know the basic steps. So far, I've cut out the cracks and filled them with drywall joint compound (the 40-minute mix from HD), and tried my hand at taping and applying another layer. This has been relatively easy. But I now see that the real test will be in how well I can apply another layer and "feather" the edges.
I was wondering if anyone here can give me some tips on how to do a good job on feathering. I have a 4", 6", and 10" drywall knife, mud tray, etc.
TIA
