Great! I've got the old fashioned sand paper and scrubber first shown, in 60 and 100 grit, for a small area. even 100 grit seems too course, will get some 180 . . THANKS

[@michaelbarna1919]

Hello. I am doing a skim coating project - I’ve coated all my walls and now am going around patching little craters from air bubbles, etc. With those spot patches, although I do light spotting of mud and feather the edges, I sometimes have trouble getting the patched spots to blend with the skim layer beneath when sanding them. I can trace my fingers along the wall and feel the slight ridge where the patched spot begins. Am using a 220 sand sponge - am I doing something wrong ? Would it be better to prime the walls and then go around doing the small spot patching, rather than attempting to layer mud on mud? Appreciate your guidance

[@BlossomPainting]

Time well spent !! And then a teaser for the sanding sponges sequel …. Ohhhh Boy%

Awesome breakdown, thank you

[@cookinitmax]

Hi hey you really look like you love what you do awesome . It's so refreshing to watch someone who cares. Got a Question. What type sandpaper wood you use on drywall that's has a thick plaster on it it's truly ruff . I know we will have to skim coat it but there's so many valleys groves in it I'm afraid if I don't sand it even the skim coat won't hold like you said. I'm a DIY tossed into a heck of a job and want to do it right.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

If you’re going to skim coat it, use a really coarse grit like 80 grit. And dust it afterwards or the dust makes it hard to stick.

Particulate filter or masking required?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

A mask is always a good idea

[@tonycoraccio3514]

I was once shown way to use spray bottle with water and lightly spray popcorn and then use 6” knife to scrape off, it seemed to do good compared to sanding. Have you ever used this technique and do you recommend, if not why?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Search for “Popcorn ceiling removal That Kilted Guy “ and you’ll see my videos that show how I remove it

[@morokeiboethia6749]

What grit do you use for sanding a pre-painted wall that you're about to mud over? And what mud would you recommend on the underside of corner bead? Wasn't sure if outside corners have expansion issues like regular seams.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Sand over paint with *80 grit* , and use regular all purpose, or lightweight all purpose under tape on bead, just like under paper tape.

[@FLaDave351]

not one mention of sanding screens?

I’ve tried them many times and they work really well except they leave distinct noticeable scratch lines so I don’t like them Hey I really rely on the support of my viewers to put these videos out and answer your questions.

What about those mesh style sanding sheets/discs? Are those any good for sanding drywall?

I’m not a fan. They leave lines

Hi. I nicked my ceiling with a drywall sander. Should I fill in with drywall compound or spackle? Thanks again.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

Either for a minor Nick

[@cougarcn]

For power sanders: Are random orbital sanders better than your typical circular sanders? Hilti, Festool, DeWalt I'm all looking at trying to know which is best.

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

As far as I know, there’s not a random orbit drywall sander out there in the 9 inch size category. I just looked up the Dewalt one on their site and it said nothing about it. Edit I just looked and I think the Mirka sander is an oscillating and not just spinning sander but not positive

[@kklassen]

Random orbital is definitely better than just orbital. I have a Festool Planex 2, expensive but worth it. The built-in circular LED raking light is my favorite feature.

Hello what is you thought/ on drywall sanding screens?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

They work good, but leave straight noticeable lines so I would only use them when you have another coat of mud to go

Any advice on dealing with old wallpaper? Can it be skim coated over?

[@ThatKiltedGuyDIY]

It will usually bubble up. Best to remove it but sometimes you could get lucky and treat it with Gardz first then skim coat it

I’ve used 45 minute setting compound as my first layer on my joints. It is in thick and it is ugly. What’s the best way to get it off so I can use the proper mud?
