I have seen video's of people using Sheetrock mud blades to spread the mud. so you mixed a rather large amount of mudd, a couple cups per application? I'm using the 1'x1' onion brand paper stacked mixing board where you mix, apply then throw away the top sheet of paper, maybe i need to find a bunch of cardboard boxes and mix larger amounts..

Is your high build a quart can or spray can? brand?

I have been using 80 grit on my long board but following that with 180, It still takes many applications of my spray can high build to get everything filled.

In your pic is that high build Primer or is that K2?
