Adjusting fuzzy skin when using painting mode

I created a model (basic box and lid. The bottom part of the box I used fuzzy skin in the “Others” options section and left the defaults. On the lid I painted a portion of the lid where I wanted the fuzzy skin to appear. When painting it seems that you do not use the “Others” fuzzy skin selection as it needs to be off. But the fuzzy skin that is created does not match the default options on the bottom of the box. The painted fuzzy skin options are different but there does not seem a way to adjust them to match?

TIA
