Noticed mud takes forever to set when it's muggy out...
I've been on a few sites lately where the air is thick, and the joint compound just stays wet... had to delay sanding by a whole day. Even with fans blowing, it feels like you're fighting the weather. Really makes me wonder if there's a product out there that handles humidity better.

Yeah, and it's not just the wait that kills you. That wet mud can skin over on top but stay soft underneath, so you sand it smooth, prime it, and then a week later you see ghost seams because the core never cured. Xena_butler is right about the schedule hit, but the hidden cost is those callbacks for repairs nobody wants. A hot mud base coat might set, but that final topping coat just laughs at your fans.
