I finally tried the mud pan trick from a job in Denver
I was on a site in Denver last month and saw a guy using a mud pan with a curved bottom. He said it cuts down on air bubbles because you get a smoother pull. I tried it the next day on a 12 foot ceiling and got way fewer dimples. Has anyone else switched to a curved pan or is it just a gimmick?

Notice small tweaks in routine gear usually mean someone figured something out through trial and error.

That curved pan trick is more about the technique than the tool, honestly. Plenty of guys get smooth results with a standard pan (including me) by just keeping a clean edge and not overloading the mud.
