The more you do drywall, the more you critique your own work and others. Now its usually the first things I notice in a home. People think I'm crazy.

Wider knives require more strength and dexterity, trowels work better for wide mudding as you can technically spread more, but its another art and skill, and a lot of wrist strength.

Lol, I do patch jobs with what I can find at house. Usually a 1"-2". Good info. Thank you.

Hey from a navy veteran Airforce Vet bravo Zulu that means good job

Just discovered using a wider knife and oh boy does it make things easier/better looking. I'm a total amateur but the wider knife didn't make the result as obviously amateur work.

What about on the flats or as we call them recess edges. Are they supposed to be flat or humped or thought flat or small depression. The knife should depress concave finish depending on which way you use the knife. I get it for butt joints.
6” for joint taping hot mud and all purpose larger knife 2nd 3rd coats.

I cant find a 12” knife at HD or Lowes.

Sir I am embarking a whole house popcorn removal (over 2, 000 Sq feet).

Also, I have one room ( the biggest room🥲) that has 1/4 to almost 1/2 inch of knockdown that was Not knocked down😂. I intend to flatten it to look like proper knockdown.

I am trying to decide what is the least amount of mess and most time efficient methods and tools.
I will invest the money needed for the Right tools.

Is it possible to remove the popcorn while leaving the texture underneath???

I would LOVE ❤️ to avoid re-mudding and texturing the rest of the ceiling.

Thank you Sir for any guidance in advance

But the wider, the harder is it to use, I've seen video of pros in Europe plastering walls with 2 foot wide floats lol
