thanks for telling us how to do that. Why do you call it mud? Isnt it jointing compound? and what is hot mud?and its european equiv?

[TheSprayking]

Yes, "Mud" is just a term us sheetrock finishers call joint compound. Its the same compound that you buy everywhere. "hot mud" is a term we have for "fast setting-type" compound which come in a powder form and set up within the time frame on the bag. In the United States we have compounds that come in " 20, 45, 90, 210 minute form and it is good for patching or doing small walls because it sets up quickly and allows you to do another coat without waiting for the compound to dry. Please rate!!

Sponges are good for lots of things of course. Way back when I was told the water measurement was one coffee cup per fiver. ( the usual ceramic coffee cup) Seems to work.

Thank you very much for the information, but as oyu said, not everyone knows how to prpoerly mix mud, including myself. Until now thta is. I wasn't sure if you used plaster or joint compound, and I didn't know you nedded to soften it with water for a better flow. Huge thanks!!!
