My dad casually told me I've been hanging drywall backwards for 10 years
He watched me tape a corner joint and just goes 'you're supposed to score the paper first, not after.' I fixed a whole basement ceiling this weekend with that one tip, has anyone else had a parent drop a bomb like that on something you thought you knew?

Wait, so you were putting the tape up dry and then mudding over it without scoring the paper first? That had to be a nightmare getting those bubbles out, tbh. Honestly, scoring the paper lets the mud bite into the tape so it doesn't just float on top. Ngl, your dad saved you a ton of frustration and probably a few re-dos over the years.

Yeah, totally changed my mind on this one.
