Don’t Paint Before You Do THIS First – Wall Prep 101

The best way to hide your spackle touchups I'm gonna take and put some spackle on the hole right here Instead of just skimming it like that You're gonna eliminate all the texture around it What I do is I'll fill the hole And then I'll just wipe off my spackle off around that hole So now I don't fill in the texture I just want the hole filled in It's like this Texture is not eliminated The hole won't show up If you gotta get it on there a little bit better Skim it That's the way to hide something If the hole is really big and really flat I'm gonna take some knockdown texture Once that dries I'll just spray some knockdown texture on it Let the knockdown texture dry I'll sand it And the spot's gone And after Oh yeah, I guess there you go Yeah With the roller And instead of having brass rocks this way It stipples it so This will match the stick really On the roller With the roller as well
