How do you cover the wall with joint compound, not texturing?

I need to know how to mix joint compound and water to be able to roll it on the walls and make it smooth, not textured. The previous owners of this house did this in the bathroom instead of taping and mudding the seams of drywall... and I am just curious of what consistancy it needs to be to?

you cant roll on joint compound, it has to be troweled on, or sprayed on,
buy top coating mix, its the smoothest sold,

Peanut Butter consistency. You have to know what you're doing if your "skimming" walls. Not everybody has the technique.
