anyone have good ideas for a good paint, primer, or sizing that hardens joint compound? Will a couple coats of primer soak in enough, harden, &c., or something else?

Most primers harden the compound, try sanding out area that got missed before primer was sprayed. I know some rockers that swear by primers sold by producers of compuonds. Apparently there is a little compound in the prime. Jobs that I've seen using these primers look good.
I did a job once that the compound could be sanded by hand. It was soft. USG was called and two of their reps came to look at the job. It was ruled moisture caused by a torpedo heater. The lab suggested I prime the job with oil primer , two coats. The oil primer hardened the compound. That was over 10 years ago. I was there 2 weeks ago to finish an addition. The job looked fine.
