These tips are so simple that they may not be noteworthy, but they both work well, and are free and easy.
First is a solution to the problem of mixing drywall mud in a new full bucket. With a full bucket, the addition of even a small amount of water, to get a nice consistency can result in a mess as the mud gets flung out of the bucket. I keep a bucket lid with a hole in it, add a little water, put the mixing paddle in the bucket and put the lid on the bucket for mixing.
It is also nice to be able to leave the mixing paddle in the bucket with the lid on, while working.
The lid also works like one of those popsicle drip catchers if you need to carry the mud covered paddle through the house to hose it off outside.
