here is my problem with spraying any premixed mud. It burns the hell out of my eyes. Whatever they use to keep the mud from seperating in the bucket. All premixed mud has it, Seems to burn . So i use powdered mud. cheaper too.
 
spray prices: If there is enough footage i charge a drywall contractor as low as 2 cents per foot. General contractors i charge more. If i have to wait for my money it costs more. If the job is to small i have a 150$ minimum. Unless its a remodle i charge based on how much masking. You can kill a lot of time masking a skylite. cabnets floors, If i work for a piggy contractor who didnt cover anything first, I charge alot to clean then mask. Sometimes i just leave.
