What's wrong with my touch ups?

after your skim coat sets up, depending on climate/temp go through and touch it up when its stick tacky, on any finish we always go through and spot all the corner bead, butts, angles and seems like a screw, basically crossing anything off and just pull everything tight, like a screw as stated before. This eliminates pinholes and dust filled gouges you might not see otherwise. I use tint also in my mud, not never miss but a different product we came up with ourself, not chalk or anything like that, and I can use red color to tape, skim, touchups texture, whichever step its is and it does NOT bleed through the primer. Chalk has a tendency to change the porosity of the mud and can cause problems later on, so stay away from that, and I don't use the tint to find touchups, I mix it in every box of mud I apply, because its brightens the day ! :D
