uh... you lost me after the world 'rid'. If im correct, I think your saying to remove most of the effects on the mud layer (hehe, good think i kept around the original layer before the effects) and then blur it and mess with the opacity?
Not sure exactly what you are after, but if you create transparent layer and then fill in a selection with 50% grey(then remove selection!), blur it so the edges are blurred, then bump map that layer against your noise and set to overlay over you color. This is a non destructive technique to get texture down AND have a nice blend.
