I would fill it with mud, let it dry, sand it, and it still wasn't right. Finally figured out that the masonite board was not firmly screwed to the wall in that location, and it was flexing when I sanded the area. It would mash down as I sanded over it, then would spring back, leaving an uneven spot. So I put a couple screws in it to hold it down, remudded the area, used a hair dryer to enhance the drying time, mudded it again, dryed it, mudded one last time, then sanded it, and it is fixed.
So, we need to forget about the "golden spike ceremony" for now? How about a "golden drywall screw ceremony"?
