Alex, My experience with wall board mud is to build pavement. I applied it in a couple of thin layers using a damp sponge to smooth it between applications.
The damp sponge keeps sanding to a minimum, and if your'e careful, no sanding is required. Sanding mud can get very messy as anyone who has floated sheetrock can attest. Putting a little color into it as Stan S has suggested would keep you from seeing those glaring chipped spots later. Sounds as if you have enough to pave several parking lots. :) Billy On May 25, 2012, at 10:55 AM, Alex Binkley wrote: > > Hi: > I have been gifted with a large partly used pail of wall board mud and > wondering about what to do with it. > One idea is to create blobs of it, let dry and then paint in rock colors.
