No, Muddskip technology saves time by enables wet on wet layering in same day with compression properties making the layered process stronger and ELIMINATING the TIME you WAIT for compound to dry between coats. EX: if you typically take 2-3 days for your pre-fill, tape and bed coats, this can all be done within minutes or hours with Muddskip Technology vs. days. Your humidity conditions and temperature will drive the time it takes to become dry to touch for next layer. This eliminates sanding steps as well and if you choose not to sand at all the dehydration capability enables touchups with a simple water mist or you can use the Muddskip Finisher and Conditioner for a harder, smoother finish.
