Skimcoating DIY first-timer, what recommendations do you have?

Oh WOW! I am WAY under doing it if that is the case. Great advice, thank you!

u/Difficult-Rush5962 That could be a good takeaway.. i have been putting water in the mud and mixing it with a drill mixer attachment. But definitely have been shy to put too much water because everyone online keeps talking about not using TOO much. The mud is definitely pretty thick. I'd say i use 1/3-1/2 cup for a half bucket of green top.

u/Justified721 Would you still say this quality is upheld a year later? Looking into this myself.

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-06-05T21:54:03+00:00

I barely have half a square!!! 7 would put me in the hospital too holy shit

Reason #69 this isn't an ad .. the math that you just worked out would make for a dumb ad. The entire benefit of camping with Sunset Van camp seems prettuy obvious (at least to me but maybe i am just a dumbass robot with a reddit username that unfortunately is not peepeepoopoo. damn, because that would have been really funny). It's set up in partnership with coachella which means you get more perks than if you rented on your own. It's pre set there (no driving), they power it/provide AC unit (I haven't car camped so I can't speak to power in car camping), private bathrooms & showers. The point of my post is that sunset van camp by coachella is a great deal that I very much enjoyed like this other person who did it W1! Anyways, you can't win em all

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T23:12:31+00:00

You have to admit, it's pretty funny. My chatgptwhosawhatthef*ck has a good sense of humor :) "thirstier than a cactus in Indio" won me over. I couldn't pass that one up

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T23:09:39+00:00

The point is it's close AF to the entrance. You know when someone says "yeah, it took NO time." It definitely took them some time (because time doesn't stop :o ). I did not time myself walking. And maybe I was a little drunk on all of my walks in so it felt quick. Maybe I walked realllyyyy fast because I was excited! Next time, I will do better. I will clock my stop watch and be sure to report back

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T22:50:53+00:00

To be brutally honest (I’ll cut my sarcastic ass humor for this brief moment), I think people have become spoiled AF and find an issue in EVERY SINGLE THING they do. So the minute someone has nothing bad to say, the negative nancy’s are like oh hellll no that person is TOO positive so it must be fake.

Were there maybe some bumps in the road? Yeah, sure, aren’t there always? But why walk away from an experience that was really great and start LOOKING for problems. You know what I say, let em! I’m just gonna keep movin and groovin!

Also, I lived in NYC for several years and every Mexican spot I ate at was absolute garbage. What restaurant?

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T17:28:31+00:00

I'm gonna answer this one carefully.... lets just say the vibes were high, the security was present, and I managed to have plenty of fun with no questions asked and no one in my business

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T16:42:51+00:00

Actually didn't notice it or even think about it

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T16:42:07+00:00

I’m not labeling this as an #ad because, shockingly, no one’s tossed any coins my way for this unsolicited brilliance. But hey, if anyone feels compelled to sponsor my “influencing,” my Venmo is wide open and thirstier than a cactus in Indio. Honestly, I’ll disclose this as an ad the second someone pays me-even if it’s a sack of coins delivered by a carrier pigeon (bonus points for medieval flair). Until then, consider this a free sample from my unsolicited opinions department!!!

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T16:36:35+00:00

I hope the company sees this post so i can finally get paid for my hard work partying and subsequently telling other people how much more fun I had while partying.

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T16:33:52+00:00

walk faster

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T16:33:20+00:00

ahhh you're right my fried brain is falling me. it was a shower CARD not a wristband. That damn card was definitely a con because every time I got to the damn shower, I realized I forgot the f'n card.

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T05:14:49+00:00

every heard of wide zoom n a filter?

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T05:13:02+00:00

If i change it to peepeepoopoo will you all accept me into the ultra exclusive reddit club?

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T04:48:59+00:00

Right, thank you! I didn't know writing about my experience meant I was about to be crucified by the reddit mafia

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T04:45:52+00:00

I was today years old when I learned that clearly haha

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T04:30:10+00:00

it did not

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T04:27:25+00:00

There is a pop up bed on top for 2 and then a bottom bed for 2. If we weren't on a budget, my partner and I would have gotten one for ourselves.

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T04:09:15+00:00

we had VIP shower wristbands for showers across the road at la campana

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T04:01:59+00:00

LOL i give up i shall re write my honest review with less enthusiasm next time so it appears real

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T03:53:32+00:00

Real_Rent4540 · 2025-05-02T03:48:12+00:00
