What's wrong with my touch ups?

well, sounds like the tint your using is changing the texture of your mud, so try not to use too much tint.

I use blue chalk if needed (chalk line powder, don't use red), but even the chalk can cause the same problem. Trick is not to use too much. Make your mixture a very lite blue, not a very dark blue.
 
The problem is that I've got too many touch ups and the painters don't like that ^^
Actually, Mountain man does have a point......

Go around with a light before you sand. Look for any lines or pin holes in your work, anything that can be deemed taper error. Find them before dust fills them. If your getting errors from sanding ?????????? then stop doing that:furious:

You want to eliminate anything that could be a possible taping error. If your painters are nagging about nicks and dings, tell them to get stuffed, that's their problem, not yours:yes:
 
I thought touch ups were a painters problem.
Come to Canada worky, our painters feel their above touch ups:furious:

combine these 4 pictures together, and that's what our painters think they are:yes:
