My whole mud mixing method was backwards for two years

I was showing my buddy from the Tacoma job how I always add water to the powder, and he just stared at me like I grew a second head. He said, 'Man, you're making it fight you... powder into the water, it hydrates smooth.' Tried it on the next batch and my forearms stopped hating me. Anyone else learn a basic thing embarrassingly late?

Yeah, "powder into the water" is the only way. It's like making gravy without lumps. I did the water-into-powder thing for a whole summer, fighting a lumpy mess and wasting material. Once you flip it, you get a perfect consistency every single time and you're not standing there stirring forever.
