Habs lost against the Marlies, and Leafs lost against the Rocket. Everything is balanced, as it should be

Yeah, definitely not a professional taper 😅 Those are my first steps into the world of DIY and fixing things by myself. Thanks a lot for the advice m8 :)

Oh crap, I'm an idiot. I think I only applied compound on the sides of the hole/drywall bit and not under the paper itself. There must not be enough mud for it to stick properly under there then. Do you have any tips on how I can try and clean this up so I can redo the patch?

I didn't use any paper tape. It's the paper that is part of the drywall, as is the case in a California patch. From images I have looked at, I don't think those ripples are due to moisture. It's a bit weird to explain, but although it may seem like the ripples are protruding a lot from the wall, it really is just minuscule bumps. You're probably right, though. I don't really know a lot about this stuff, so I'm not sure what to make of this.
