mudding

Smoothing drywall seams

Mudding refers to recreational off-road driving through mud, typically in trucks, ATVs, or other rugged vehicles: We went mudding after the storm.

The activity prizes getting dirty and testing a vehicle's traction.

Mudding also describes applying joint compound to drywall seams during construction—smoothing mud over tape to create seamless walls.
