Figured out that letting mud dry fully between coats is worth the wait.

The finish is SO much smoother when you don't rush it.

Watched my buddy try to rush a drywall patch in his bathroom. He slapped on the second coat while the first was still tacky. Ended up with a lumpy, speckled finish that needed two extra rounds of sanding to fix. He definitely learned that lesson the hard way.

But like, is it really that big of a deal? @rose_henderson, your buddy's wall isn't gonna fall down. So it looks a little lumpy, it's just a bathroom patch. People act like every home project needs to be perfect or the world ends. Sometimes you just gotta get it done and move on with your life.

My dad rushed grouting tiles (cue the uneven lines).
