Great series of threads!! I've learned more about painting in two days than I ever would have thought possible. Thanks!!

In regards to mud, I always buy the premix from the box stores. I typically am stuck with the green lid (I notice many of you refer to blue lids) as that is all that is carried. I then thin it down when necessary for texture and skim coating. My trouble is that I ALWAYS seem to have chunks. I have a mortar mixer paddle for my drill as well as a paint mixer. Having tried them both with lik results it seems I am always stuck with a putty knife picking out chunks and resmoothing. Any ideas?

Yeah quit buying mud from the big box stores, get yourself some proform light and you won't have those kinds of problems.

I have to agree
That would solve the problem
