Reply to comment by Xilom in Drywall mud not going well - where to go from here? by Xilom

you can do that, but like other people have said you want it to be a little thinner.

Try to sand a lot of what you already have up down smooth, then tape all the corners. Youtube is your friend.

Then do a SUPER LIGHT coat on top of your tape. Then a SUPER LIGHT sand.

By this point you should be almost smooth. if you need another coat, go for it. Light, thin coats are the way. Heck, if it takes you 4 coats, go for it. Slowly get smoother and smoother until you are happy.
