TIL my taping knife angle was costing me hours of sanding
I was finishing a basement in Akron last week and my helper asked why I was holding the knife so flat against the wall. He showed me how a 30 degree tilt leaves way less mud behind, which I tried on the next seam. How many of you were taught the wrong angle when you started?

That "30 degree tilt" tip just saved my next drywall project.

Always held the knife straight up and down before. Tried the tilt last weekend on a patch, and wow. The mud went on way smoother with way less sanding later. Totally changed how I'll do edges from now on.
