    Regarding wetting the tape; my Dad (now retired) was a drywall taper for almost 50 years, he sometimes used the tape dry exactly as you did it, but when he was doing joints, he would use wet tape, but not like the guy in that video who seems to just soak the tape in water in a bucket, my dad had a box that was filled a wet cement mixture, on the back of the box was a place to hang the roll of tape, the tape was then fed through the box in a little slit, and pulled out of the other side of the box from another slit, and when it came out the other side it was soaked in wet cement and slapped onto the joints, then cleaned with the trowel. My Dad made this box, so did most of the other tapers.

    You have it so easy! I've just fixed a 2 foot / half metre diameter hole in a 200 year old ceiling in Serbia. It was about an inch thick and made from water reeds, metal mesh and mud! but basically the same technique. First I levelled out the floor boards above by screwing up small pieces of chip board. Then one big piece of chipboard to fill the hole about 1mm down from the surface of the ceiling. Then a couple of coats of filler. (i didn't have to be perfect like you or it would have stood out from the original work!) but i love your smoothing skills. I probably need a bigger smoother thingy!

    For everyone else, avoid my initial mistake: don't try to use scrap drywall instead of wood as a shortcut. I tried that, the screws didn't countersink and the scrap of drywall broke anyway. Once I used wood like Bill said, it worked just like in the video.
