I am stuck at this. I want to improve my mobile home. The walls are drywalled and the seams were covered by thin strips of wood (strips itself were covered by white paper). I hate that so I removed all the wood strips.
I was told to put joint compound on the seam and then paper it over with a roll of paper and cover the paper with more of joint compound. I thought I did it okay. The problem became apparent when it dried. The paper curled. Where did I go wrong???
A guy told me that he didn't put any joint compound on first.... he just sprayed the wall with fine mist of water. He then papered it and put joint compound over it. I haven't tried that. I thought I need to put joint compound on first because the drywall panels were not exactly flushed with each other.
How do I solve it without ending up with 'speed bumps' on the walls? Any help would be very very much appreciated!!
