A customer in Austin told me 'the mud is just the canvas, the real art is in the sanding' and it completely reframed how I approach finishing.
After 8 years of rushing the final sand, I now spend an extra hour per room just on hand-sanding the corners and seams, which has cut my callbacks for touch-ups by half, so what's one small change in your process that made a huge difference in quality?

Man, my buddy used to skip cleaning his paint sprayer nozzles right away to save ten minutes. He'd let the gunk dry overnight. Ended up spending half a Saturday chipping it out with a toothpick when it clogged solid on a big job. Now he soaks them while he's still packing up the truck. That tiny bit of evening cleanup saves him whole mornings.

Wait you were rushing the sanding for eight whole years... that's wild to me. I can't even imagine how many corners you must have had to go back and fix. An extra hour per room sounds like nothing compared to all those callbacks.
