Should of smacked on the wet mud. Remove the extra excess Grabbed some paper tape and not that crap. Applies it on top. Threw some more mud on it and smoothed it out. Would of had the flatest surface area ever without any of that excess work you'll need to make the wall smoothe and even.
Surface is so flat smooth and even now you, you can't even tell there was a sliding door there! I do it this way, because I trust myself way more with a sander than I do trying to float mud...guys who can float perfectly have my mad respect forever. I just don't have "the touch."
