Thank you Rob and Carey,
Now that I understand more of difficulties envolved with Hardie panel, I think you are right Rob, skim coating the whole thing now makes sense to me. Okay 12" blade, I have one, also have a steady hand. I am feeling much better about this. Just needed to be able to understand the why's and what for's of a project before deciding on the best method. However I still don't really want to do this, but will if I have to.
Rob do you know of any of the drywallers who do taping and skim coating...who are capable of doing this?
Carey, thanks for the info on the proper tool for precision cutting of detailed areas. Also I was not sure you could score and snap the Hardie panel, that is good news, as I was concerned about all the BAD concrete dust that would occur if it could only be cut with power tools.
MUCHO thanks to you both!
