It just take practice, my first try was not perfect but acceptable, the second time was much better and the third on a larger wall with lots of defects looks good, but I probably spent too much time on it, although I am confident that I can now do it much faster.
- cortesoft 4y agoSure, but I don’t want to have two crappy looking walls in my house with a good looking third one. Of course if I do something enough I can get good at it, the point of hiring someone is because I am not going to do it enough to get good at it.
- bacon_waffle 4y agoAnother argument to always hire someone else: if you learn to get a nice finish with drywall, you'll start noticing defects in existing drywall. Everywhere. Highly recommend Vancouver Carpenter on youtube, if you do want to go down that rabbit hole.
- ridgered4 4y agoThat is my experience as well, second or third time I'm vastly improved (not as good or as fast as a pro still, but upgraded to 'acceptable') since I've learned from the largest mistakes. Too bad I have to live with those mistakes though since I did them to my house!
