How does he keep the results from cracking when they dry? I've worked with drywall glop and anything thicker than 1/8 inch cracks and has to be filled.
From my experience I've noticed that the parts with a lot more water in them are more prone to cracking, although i dont actually have that much experience with it. I've used 1 inch thick, almost dry globs and those dried fine
