Another tip that goes along with the cleanup process (as it has to do with how to leave the mud overnight - or longer). If I wipe down the sides of the bucket as you've shown, I can pour a layer of water over the mud and I don't have to worry about drying out the top layer and/or promoting crusties. The next day, I can pour off the excess and the mud will have been kept in good shape. Easier that than fighting the lid when the mud is not going to long term storage.

My go-to is a toilet brush; they're made to get in corners and I like starting jobs with immaculate tools. The best friend is the 5 gallon bucket of water for both mud or piant tools - especially brushes and scraped rollers, soaking does most of the work for you. The mud bucket cleanup I call "parking" your mud. NOTHING is more IRRITATING than boogers in your mud (then on wall)! For spackling, try this: pour water in it and dump it out just before putting the lid on. It keeps it like new.

I use a similar cleaning method though I do it slightly differently; I use a medium stiff brush for plaster and joint compounds while using a stiff bristle brush for stucco and concrete cleaning. I use a dip, brush, dip method which seems to work fast and well; I also will keep towels in the vehicle for drying off tools before putting them away though if they’re going to get used the same day of next day I tend to not dry them as I use exclusively stainless and magnesium tools exclusively. I also keep smaller nylon and copper bristle brushes in my kit for getting the smaller areas but typically a putty knife will get things off. My trowels store on magnetic strips while most of my trowels live in a home made stand as I have dozens in different sizes from 1” through 14” and includes flexible to firm blades and scrapers. While I will keep paddles in water most of the time if I don’t or just with some materials I’ll let the paddle sit and get hard then just knock things off which has worked OK for me for years. Thankfully I don’t do as much mud/stucco work as I used to as it can be tougher than the more skill less work side of things like cabinetry and finish work.

After I cleaned the Trowel they get rusty. How do I keep them from not getting rusted ?

Lubricating spray! Oil based or silicone based spray! Wipe with machine oil!

Hey Ben, do you do hourly contracting work that we can hire you to help us fix a couple of minor paint/drywall related deficiencies? We are also located in Vancouver, BC. Thanks!
