Imma need you to teach me how to do the drywall stuff. My garage ceiling is going to need to be fixed, and my attempts to patch it thusfar have been... less than stellar... lol.
TL;DR version: Thin coats, applied with a good-quality non-rusting metal drywall spreader held at a fairly low angle (30-45°, I think). Blued steel is nice and thin but it rusts if you look at it funny. Plastic is easy to wash up but it wears out, mostly from getting chips in the edge (although narrow plastic ones are fine for filling screw holes and for taping). The objective is to apply the mud so that it needs virtually no sanding at the end.
Oh, and get a drywall screw "dimpler" that automatically stops the screw at the right depth.
