Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I will check this out for sure, thanks. I’m currently noobing up my closets with the regular stuff and I suck at it.
One thing that someone that did it for a living taught me was to use way less than you think you need on each coat. Just barely cover it the first time, then knock off the high points before subsequent coats. You don't have to get it done in one coat, and if you try, the result will be terrible and take a lot of work to get back to try again. And only do one side of a corner tape at a time.
I watched some youtube videos on how to do it and how much to use. I still think I used too much but I’m learning lol. I’ll try the one side at a time next, thanks.
If you're inexperienced with it, the regular stuff is probably better. This specific hot mud only has a working time of around 30 minutes so you need to get it on the walls quick.
You’re probably right. I’m doing closets first because i know i suck at it. Maybe once those are done I can experiment a bit more.
