If they would inform me about a mistake they made, they would get every next job too! Honesty should be payed back.

Now if they made the mistake and didn't tell me, then we're getting to your solution.

yeah but this would be the kind of mistake that betrays some kind of deep lack of understanding on the part of the guy doing the work. if a contractor did this I would have an honest suspicion the worker is literally illiterate. as a diy project mistake its no harm/ no foul.

I don't think people understand how difficult it is to mix up pre-mixed mortar or mastic for joint compound. The texture and smell is different for each one. A professional making that mistake is VERY concerning.
