This was the easiest straight to the point video ever! Why can’t they all be like this !? Thank you!
I wish you could come to my house LOL we have completely renovated this whole "Old" house. took out all plaster and installed drywall. Contractor had to be fired because he was not coming to do any work. This resulted in not meeting the finished deadline to move in so we had to move in with a lot of work needing to be done. Your videos have really helped us (hubby and I) complete the jobs the contractor was supposed to do. I had no clue you could do a wet sand on drywall mud until I watched your videos as I have been sanding with a palm sander and created so much dust that I am NOT sanding anymore. This technique is AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing and please keep them coming
Leah, I cant tell you how many times i have used your vids to do something around the house. You inspire me with your confidence! thank you!

Wow great informative video. I had no idea there was such a thing as sanding sponges. I have to sand down walls in a narrow hallway and I've been hesitant to do it because of all the dust I'd make.Thanks for the vid.

Great tip. Thank you, Leah!

Hi Leah! Unless your good at feathering with a roller, a second coat over a 1st can be noticed.
I am so happy to hear your voice! I follow you on TikTok! I am currently trying to patch a hole and it looks awful. I thought to myself "I wish I could ask the TikTok woman!" I am flipping through UA-cam videos and am thrilled I found this!
What's her tiktok channel called?
Leah you're great! Love your vids!

I like how you did that and I will remember the sponges and I know that they have them at Lowe's or other hardware stores.
Excellent sanding tip! thank you
you're welcome, Alex!
Thank you, Leah!
you're welcome, Susan!
AWESOMENESS! Thanks Leah for making my projects easier! Agree with Chris best home improvement channel on ypu tube! I appreciate your pleasantness and ability to explain without unintelligent speach like...#@%*%@ you would rather not hear you follow? Thx for being straightforwarded and all bout getting to business without all the hoopla I Love your Channel, Please Keep it coming!!! I'll be watching!
Love it!!! Was gonna get a Swiffer to clean up the sanding dust and thinking on how often will I need to change out the Swiffer cloth...or should I use washcloths or the Dollar Tree cheap version of Swiffer...but then will the laundry get out the dust...Anyway so now I know I can skip all that and skip steps and just do wet sanding instead!! Now to check how expensive a wet sanding sponge is though. I like the two-side kind used here. I wonder how many are needed and if it can be cleaned and reused. Can compare those costs to normal sandpaper and a Swiffer and enough Swiffer pads or washcloths. I also wonder if this wet sanding sponge can be attached to a sanding pole
AWESOME
Hi I watch u all the time have learned a lot..iam wondering I have old doors with old interior locks. I have tryed so hard .but unable to do it .can u do a video on how to change out a old lock to the new standard lock....ooooo please help me...thank you Wanda Wells...
how long does double sided sponge last
Quick clean fix. Thanks
I have a spot that's been spackled, painted and drying for 24 hours, it has a small bump, can I sand it down and repaint? Wet or dry?
Does it really do very well with a smooth wall surface? I would think a textured wall is easier to blend with than a smooth wall.
Yes you can get very smooth with a wet sanding sponge. The drywall+water slurry is quite good at creating a nice smooth surface.
I've found when using "mud" to patch, almost any normal sponge when wetted win do the trick, but watch out over a large area as you may have created a divot.
Is the mud supposed to be wet or completely dried before using the sponge
What do i do to sand the bumpy orange skin off of painted walls without having dust everywhere
Any tips on patching drywall where a piece of the drywall paper has been ripped away? Should I just cut it out and put in another piece of drywall, or is there an easier way? Thanks for all your videos!
I don't know what Leah will say but what I've always done is to force wallboard compound under the torn paper and then screed it out from under the paper with a wallboard knife, essentially gluing it back down with wallboard compound. Then aftet it dries just sand and paint as usual.
Hello Leah, very informative videos. Quick question please. In process of stripping wallpaper and plan on doing one of the texture finishes you provided. Once I remove all the wallpaper will I have to prime the wall before applying mudd/texture to the entire surface or because I am doing a textured finish it's not important to include the priming step. Thank you Steven
Hi Steven, you know, it wouldn't hurt to prime first, especially because you are removing wallpaper, and you have no way of knowing if the surface beneath the wall covering was prepared properly to be able to remove the wallpaper cleanly. A good product is Zinsser Gardz, especially if you are going to have any kind of wall damage after the paper is removed. I would consider it.
Thank you
I love you!!
:)
will not sanding with water weaken the structure of the mud ?
When you rinse your sanding sponge, can you pour the rinse water down a household drain or will it clog the pipes?
my exact question! Same name too....what are the odds? lol! :)
Good demo, but I had a shiver up my spine every time you ran your hand over the sponge, that's my kryptonite.
Waking up at Leah's voice is noice
A plain old wet sponge that you would use to wash the car works great as well. Just get it good and wet and wring out most of the water... till its damp. Rinse the sponge frequently in clean water.
that's true, thanks for sharing that additional tip
I just did this with a wet rag, worked quite well and didn't damage the surrounding texture. For small holes like nails and anchors, you don't even need to wait for the compound to fully dry.
What about using primer??
Always prime.
I don't know that I've ever used sand paper to wet sand wallboard compound. I've wet sanded a clear or enamel surface between coats but I've never done this because I've never wanted a smooth spot. I'vr only used a wet regular sponge to do this. It didn't seem to matter much that the grit made a smoother surface because the paint retextured the surface.

good video
thanks!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Hi, Im Mike. I grew up "country", in the woods... I've chased, grabbed, and picked up armadillos by the tail. .... For fun --- we let em go, we didn't eat them. I'm not THAT "country!" (That would be my cousin, "Marty-hole".(He always had bags of donut holes with him, as my aunt ran a bakery -- where everyone spoke Cajun-French; at some point, we just called him "Marty-hole", or "M-hole", or "Dough-Hole." You get the picture, there was no offense, he seemed to like it, and we got free donut holes! Win-win-win! Anyway, Marty would eat anything!
My apologies, I digress. Anyway, growing up country like I did, we grabbed water moccasins as we walked the rice fields, we grabbed the bullfrogs at night, and we catfished with our bare hands standing near the banks of bayou's. The point is, I grew up not scared of very many things --- except talking to girls, of course!
But upon reaching adulthood, I did encounter one fear --- a monstrous fear --- And even though I'd face the monster before I failed just like the prince who did not win the princess's hand at marriage. The monster was anything to do with floating taping or mudding drywall. Heck, even fixing drywall blemishes would send me into a shaking fit! Then I watch the few of your videos. I realize now he is not a monster at all! He just needs to be approached correctly. And I need to have the correct "weapons" in my "sheath". (Sorry, I had to continue the analogy just once more!)
So thank you! I have already put into practice what I've learned. Please do not tell my wife. I'm taking all the credit until she sees through my facade! Mike
No worries...you go right ahead and take all the credit
My problem has always been the texture afterwards. I'll have a noticeable smooth spot where the patch was instead of the paint texture the rest of the wall has. I use a roller, but it never matches the texture on the rest of the wall. Any suggestions?
Try a thin mix of wall board compound and a paint roller. you can match most wallboard textures this way.
A good way also is to mix paint with your drywall compound...it really does a nice job...if your have a really rough wall texture to match, use a long haired roller... the longer, the rougher the final texture will be.
Chris P - I've recently heard of using a sponge instead of a roller. Haven't tried it yet, but I bet it will work good for small areas.
Reva Stephens That would work if it's not knock down finish.
Thank you
I use a house hold sponge on small jobs
What is that sponge called again?
a sanding sponge
Can you show us how to match the knockdown texture, and the differences in the common textures used? Actually a video showing how to match all textures sounds interesting.
We currently have several videos on texture, including a knock-down orange peel/ The best place to locate the exact video you're looking for is on the See Jane Drill website, where all 200+ videos are all listed by category.
Wish I had seen this a week ago 😬
🥰👍💯🇺🇸👏🏻🙏
😱👏👏🤙😀
I can still see hole
I do too.
Not perfect I still see the hole patched.
Wet sand = no dust, of course. Sometimes we need someone to point out the obvious to us. Thanks again!
you're welcome, Richard!
Quote of the month: '... a wall that isn't exactly smooth...'
or what?
Wow that’s a sanding block not a sponge 🧽
Actually, you can do a very good job smoothing a drywall patch with only a sponge...no need to go buy sanding sponge... a regular big yellow sponge will do the trick..
yep
you sound like robin from teen titans.....
I normally like your videos but on this one you should of atleast showed how u rinsed off all that build up on the sponge..... just realized this video is a year old .....lmao
That was a terrible demo
It needed another coat of mud and some wall texture to match the wall
Also you can still see the patch and the hole where u had to patch
Terrible .
