Pro tip: had a GC yell at me about butt joints in a church ceiling and it saved my work
I was finishing a ceiling job at a church in Austin about 3 years ago. The general contractor walked in, looked at my butt joints, and said 'those better be flat or you're ripping it all out Monday.' He showed me how to pre-fill the tapered edges with 20 minute mud before taping so the joint doesn't hump up. Has anyone else had a jobsite boss teach them a trick that just stuck?

At a library job in 2021 I used to think prefilling was a waste of time but watching the finish come out totally smooth that first time changed everything.
