Hardie Panel installed on interior walls

Drywall finishing is one of those things you either have some talent for or do not. Unfortunately some drywall "professional" finishers lack talent. I've always considered drywall taping and finishing to be one of those things where you ought to be careful what you learn - you might just end up doing it a lot.

Best advice I can give, since you have concerns, is to acquire a sheet or part of one and practice on it a little bit. I bet ya Honsador has some broken pieces in the yard they might just hand to you if you explain what its for.

The biggest problem with applying mud is applying too much. Not hard to add more and time consuming and messy to sand a lot off.
