First time drywall attempt here. The house I bought had an unfinished powder room that I'm trying to finish. Ceiling drywall was already present, but I noticed some patches were wobbly so I re-cut/re-mounted them. How did I do?
Also, is green lid AP joint compound good enough to pre-fill here? Or should I go buy something else?
Also, do I need to shave off the paper frayed edges with a utility knife? Or will mud take care of it?
Thanks

Greenlid should do fine for your purposes here. Take the butt end of your trowel, or the smooth head of a hammer, and smoosh the ragged edges down, including those protruding screw hole divets. Those will rear their ugliness after a few coats.
