The joints need to be made flat. When you put a straight edge across the joints they need to be flat to the straight edge. If they are not flat, you need to apply enough compound in the right places, in a smooth and professional way, to make them flat.
Vertical seams giving me issues....Need advice
This particular problem has been plaguing me all winter, and honestly anywhere I'm finishing vertically laid drywall.
After my initial tape coat. I'm applying first coat of mud with 8 inch knife. Then the second coat with a ten. And then either finishing third coat with a 12 or a 10 again. My finished product has a dip in it Uniformly from floor to ceiling. I have attempted to go back over with an 8 inch knife and it doesn't seem to remedy this. This doesnt happen on my horizontal seams. I hope someone has some advice on this.
Thank you
