Rant: Tape bubbles on a large wall had me frustrated

I was taping a big seam and air pockets kept popping up under the paper. I figured out that dampening the tape a little before laying it down stopped the bubbles. What do you guys do to prevent this from happening?

Waiting for the right conditions to apply mud kept me from a do over on a big wall.

My go-to for dust cleanup now is a wet sponge.

Sanding always left a huge mess. I saw someone use a wet sponge on a job site. Tried it myself last Tuesday. It picks up all the dust without spreading it. Makes the final wipe down so much easier.
