What happens here

After spackling and scraping, it's time to sand the walls to achieve a perfectly smooth surface. You can use a hand sanding sponge or a power sander for this task. For optimal results, a 3x4 power sander with a fine grit Ekisil sponge is recommended. The purpose is not to heavily sand down the walls, but rather to gently smooth out any remaining imperfections, feather the edges of the spackled areas, and ensure a uniform texture. Pay particular attention to previously repaired spots.

Goal: Achieve a perfectly smooth and uniform wall surface.

All right, Ron to tip number three tip number three is Sanding your wall so once I've got everything scraped once I got everything filled I'm gonna quickly go over my walls with a sander and you can use just a Little hand sanding sponge or you can use a Power sander something like this. This is gonna work a lot faster than just doing it by hand I like using my Ekisand 3x4 sander I'm gonna be using an Ekisil sponge and this is a very fine sponge because I'm not really like sanding the walls down I'm just trying to sand any imperfections off the walls or Also gonna be sanding my spackerel. So just using a 3x4 sander. I'm just gonna quickly go over my walls So I'm just cruising right along sanding now once again I you can just do this quickly by hand using a sanding sponge or just a piece of sandpaper once again I like an orbital sander if I was doing a lot bigger room I actually have a 5 inch or have a 6 inch sander to this is a really small room It's already smooth walls So I'm just quickly going over it all I needed was just a 3x4 sander and these are smooth walls so I don't have to do a whole lot of sanding but once again I want to get these imperfections Off the wall and I want these walls smooth because when I start traveling on my finish I don't want any imperfections Showing up in my finish so I've got my filling done got my scraping done and I got my sanding done And that's it for tip numbers 3 and now we're gonna go on to tip number 4 All right tip number 4 is always strain and box your paints and now if you don't strain your paint
