    If you're going to play plumber, you have to start thinking like a plumber. Practice repeating this phrase:

    "Drywall is a removable panel."

    Once you've mastered that you can move on to, "Sweep? Do I look like the maid?"

    For what it's worth I like the work this guy does.

    He makes it look so easy.

    It's really a fine art — and the ones who do it — the few — do it very well indeed.

    Do they make a 7 day mud?

    I hope not.

    Even I use 20 minute often.

    I currently have a bag of 90 because I'm doing multiple ceilings and wanted time to work but I probably should've went 45.

    When it's heavy 90 minute takes a good 2 hours before you can work on it again. At least that's my experience but I'm far far far from an expert. I can make things pretty but it takes me time.

    Drywall

    about 45 is as fast as i can clean the tools.

    the finish coat plaster they use is mostly plaster of paris and sets fast.
