A homeowner in Tempe told me my seams were too visible under their south-facing windows, so I switched to a 1/16-inch seam roller and a different adhesive.
Has anyone else found a better method for seams in super bright, direct sunlight (you know, the kind that shows every little thing)?

Spray adhesive on a window job? That's asking for trouble. Would never trust that long term.

Man, that sun is a harsh critic. I had a client once who could spot a seam from across the room in certain light, it was wild. It got me so paranoid I started checking my own work with a flashlight at different angles before I'd even pack up. Sometimes the fix isn't even the glue, it's just accepting that some walls are built to show every single flaw.

Totally get that. Sunlight like that is brutal for showing every tiny line. Had a similar nightmare job last summer. Ended up switching to a super thin seam tape and a spray adhesive instead of troweling it on. Lets you press it down almost flat. The key is getting the glue super even so it doesn't bubble up later. Still not perfect, but way better than before.
