What happens here
Once the trowel is loaded with joint compound, begin applying it to the wall. Spread the mud in random, overlapping patterns, ensuring that the hawk is balanced to avoid spills. The goal in this initial phase is simply to get a consistent layer of mud onto the wall surface. This layer should be relatively thick to allow for the creation of voids in the next step. Work your way across the wall, covering the surface with the mud.
Goal: Cover the wall with a consistent layer of joint compound.
