Honestly, I switched from a 4-inch taping knife to a 6-inch for the first coat and it cut my time on a 12x12 room by almost an hour.

Tbh, the wider blade holds more mud and covers more area per stroke, but my buddy swears his 4-inch gives him more control on inside corners, so which do you guys use for the first pass?

Totally, I do the exact same thing and it's a huge time saver.

Try using both, a wider blade for flats and a smaller one for corners.
