It's easy to put a lot of screws in drywall. More the merrier right? I thought it would be best to err on the side of too many than too few. I mean, hey a little paper and gypsom to a sea of screws can't be all that bad, right? Just kidding.
Anyhow, I've gotten pretty good at mudding joints, but what about the fasteners? When properly nailing drywall, you get a nice approx 1" circlar dimple around the nail. Fills in nicely. When you screw it in you don't get that.
Should I hump up the mud just smigen around the screw(s) or should I just fill in the 1/4" circle around the screw head flush?
When I see professionally done drywall I see a long smear (for lack of better words) of mud around the row of screws. Isn't this creating like a little 'speed bump'?
What should I do? I've got 750sq/ft of drywall to finish... *sigh*
