Am I the only one who thinks premixed compound beats hot mud for most home jobs?

I tried hot mud on a bedroom ceiling last month in Austin and it set way too fast for me to get it smooth. Premixed gives me time to work out the bubbles and I'll take a slower dry over a rushed finish any day. Anyone else feel like fast-set mud is overrated for small patches?

Set way too fast" on a bedroom ceiling? That sounds like a nightmare.

@ramirez.vera yeah I've seen that before, you gotta scrape it all off and start over.
