Drywall for me. Usually the process I end up undertaking is, apply, sand, apply sand, apply, sand, apply.......sand to much that I hit the paper and make the whole thing worse and then have to re-do the whole thing or live with an awful job.

Caulking is up there for sure. I have found what helps is a light mist with a non ammonia glass cleaner before to run your finger or tool thingy across it. Makes it a bit less sticky and easier to clean. The thing I have found with caulking is that after watching Youtube videos, everyone is trying for that perfect consistent bead, but no matter how pretty it looks if theres too much there its going to smoosh everywhere when you run your finger across. I find its better to under do it and then add if needed. Also to despite the catchy ad from the 90s I find Mono to be garbage.
