Can this be salvaged? Plaster patch mistake.
https://imgur.com/a/XN0E2IU A friend was helping and used the last of the joint compound instead of the plaster so "it wasn't wasted". The joint compound is cracking as it dries. I'd rather not have to clear it out because one thing he did well was make the keys lol. It's all mushed up in there. So my question is "now what?". It's not flush so can I just add a layer of joint compound too it? Or am I going to need to chip it all out? I'm a welder, not a drywaller so I got no idea how this material really works. This is my house so it doesn't have to be perfect just passable and not fall on my head. submitted by /u/joebluebob [link] [comments]
