      But it might be noticed by prospective buyers when you go to sell the house. Theres always going to be imperfections but if theyre all over the house or in critical areas someone might think twice about putting an offer in or lower their offer. Anybody can walk in a room and spend 5 minutes picking apart all the imperfections but if its noticeable right off the bat it's not good

    When I was removing some adhesive, I discovered that a sanding sponge soaked in charcoal lighter fluid (side note: it's less flammable than you think) worked wonders to wet sand water-soluble surfaces. I had so much fun with it, I polished bits of the cieling to a glass-like finish

  • @jackvillan5151
    @jackvillan5151 2 роки тому +4

    It’ll only create a groove If you use the sharp side, spin the damn block around and now you’re using it as intended, sanding a proper corner

  • @carlosf9278
    @carlosf9278 7 місяців тому +1

    First way is best but go light on the sanding as it’s intended. You want smooth walls with straight lines
    But whenever I do the corner I do bit of a circular motion since I mostly care about the edged that feel bumpy… and then I give the edge a light sand
    Thinking about using a pole sander to reduce workload for the ceiling… sanding by hand for wall might still be the most cost effective way besides owning an electric drywall sander

  • @robinkehler5677

  • @TheEgg185

    The first way was actually better. Good long strokes will make everything more level. If I saw someone sanding the other way I'd send them home.

  • @Confewshus

    The first way is just fine. Just make the sponge contact the wall more towards the corner and adjust pressure to the type of mud you're sanding.

      @@johnnybravado1030 Yeah. Like in my case I'm selling this house. The wall looks absolutely great upon casual inspection. But if you shine a flash light at it, you can see all the imperfections.
      Only dry sanding will get you the best results. But in my case, I didn't want to make a mess and only needed an economy job done.
