@zombiekiller09DF Not sure if "joe" was dickering around or if he was just being "joe"! Take my word for it...."joe" knows alot of stuff. If "joe" was being sarcastic, I'm sure he wasn't directing it at you....maybe just to himself....lol Thanks for commenting. :0

@VideoJoeKnows It would appear that joe doesn't know much and that is why he is dickering around.Also sarcasm the lowest form of wit.

@zombiekiller09DF I've never used actual plaster before. Thanks for the great tips on how to use plaster to float out an existing spray textured wall! Joe :0

@VideoJoeKnows I'll tell you how to do it, scrape high point's off ,key with a sharp knife, pva and plaster over with real plaster,two coats as any half decent plasterer will tell yer job done in 3 hours,no sanding.Also plaster isn't expensive as some people might makeout,two bag's multifinish for this wall would be plenty,cost 10 quid or about 6 or 7 dollars.

@technodazed Great idea to use the quickset beofre going to the joint compound. Thanks for the tip! Joe :0

[technodazed]

I always milk the wall, then apply durabond 90, then ez sand 90, then premixed joint compound, then lightly sand with a wet, tight knit rag.

@050mega I clean out the inside of my mud pan periodically during my project then I clean the outside of it when I get done. Good eyes....thanks for noticing!! A clean mud pan, especially on the edges, will help you prevent getting lines in your mud, from the dried up crusties!!...lol That goes for your broad knife as well. Keep those edges clean. Have fun with your project. Joe :0
