Vent: My journeyman in Tacoma always said to skim coat with a 12-inch knife, no exceptions.
I tried a 14-inch on a big ceiling job last week because my shoulder was killing me, and honestly, it went way smoother with fewer lines. Now I'm wondering if that old rule was just his personal preference. What's the biggest knife you guys regularly use for skimming?

Guess his shoulder wasn't the one hurting, lol.

It's funny how often that happens... people make a big deal about some small problem to hide a bigger one they're embarrassed about. My neighbor did the same thing with a leaky faucet when his whole basement was flooded. Just seems like a weird human thing to avoid looking foolish. We'd all save a lot of time if we just admitted the real issue first.
