That's what DH does. You need a light hand with spackle - it should be a light coat, sand then another light coat and light sand. You shouldn't glob it on and then sand it off.

Re: spackaling...
depends on what you're spackling....
small nail holes can usually be done in 1 coat.
I did it last week.
DH does a few coats when covering a seam or something bigger.
