New drywall
Can I just wait until the 3rd coat to sand any pock marks/fish eyes that may appear? Should I do it after the 2nd coat instead since I am switching to a final coat mud?(wont they just fill with succeeding coats)
Also, is there a bonding purpose to sanding in between coats? Seems to be about 50/50 on google whether it is necessary in general to sand after every coat. Im using a 20k lumen light but its 5000k daylight and it misses things a good old fashioned halogen yellow doesnt.
Sure but you still may have pits or birds eyes because of the build up and you will have more sanding to do. The method I recommend Pole or hand held sand block corse mesh or sand paper. First coat , when dry 1 rub up then down Second coat usually my final coat , same sand block up then down DONE , Your method you will have a bunch of mud to remove, waste of mud on extra coats and you have to sand more. After all that sanding more to clean up.
Not sanding between coats sounds ok but actually ends up using more mud that has to be removed more work more mess.
But you can do it that way I have seen diy take a week to tape and fill screws in a 10x 12 bedroom nothing fancy , that’s only a few hours work but they were happy and I am sure you will be also but your process waste time and $ in my opinion.
