What happens here

After spackling, examine the walls for any small burrs or raised areas that might have resulted from previous repairs or existing wall texture. These burrs, if left unaddressed, can create unsightly 'dams' in your decorative finish, ruining the smooth appearance. Use a 2-edge knife or, for tougher spots, a more aggressive carbide-bladed Linbide scraper to carefully scrape off these protruding elements. You can use the LED light from the previous step to make these burrs more visible.

Goal: Remove any raised burrs or sharp edges from the wall surface.
