How would you go about this? need to fix a drywall fix in a very conspicuous spot.

I'm going to replace this with a piece of 5/8 "drywall so that it fits better and doesn't need a full 1/8" skim coat just to fill the hole and bring it level with the surrounding. I want to replace this mesh with just some paper, but do you think I'll be able to scrape the buildup down to where it's reasonably flat for me to start feathering? Or should I leave it and fill it with mud so it's flat and try to feather it from there? This is on my kitchen ceiling and I messed it up a long time ago way before I knew all the things I know now. Thanks! submitted by /u/Barrrrrrnd [link] [comments]
