Taping drywall - Third coat of mud

hibb · 2010-01-11T17:55:23+00:00

I have applied the second coat of mud over the tape and last night Idid a little bit of sanding so smooth things out a bit before addingthe last coat. Do I need to wash the dust from the sanding off of thejoints before I add the last coat of mud? I am wondering if the dustmight cause streak lines in the new coat of mud.Also, a few of the seems look pretty good after the second coat. Imust have gotten the mud a little thicker than I intended but it lookslike they might not even need the third coat. Should I do the thirdcoat on those seams anyway?Thanks, David

Great, I'm gonna look that stuff up. (shoulda done it before) I still have two more rooms to do that have those type of ceilings. Plus I can probably use that tool for the finish coat of the room I'm doing now.
