What happens here
Allow the applied spackle to dry completely. Avoid sanding too early, as wet spackle will clog the abrasive and ruin the sandpaper. Using a power sander with a vacuum attachment (such as an Ekasand Series 2), sand down the spackled areas until they are flat and smooth with the surrounding surface. The vacuum attachment significantly reduces airborne dust, improving air quality and reducing cleanup time. Your goal is to remove all spackle except for what remains in the filled imperfections. For areas inaccessible to the power sander, use sanding blocks or hand sand. Regularly inspect the surface for any remaining proud spackle or newly exposed nail heads. If any nail heads are found, set them using a nail set or the back of a painter's tool and re-spackle as needed.
Goal: Once the spackle is completely dry, sand it down using a power sander with a vacuum attachment, ensuring a flat and smooth surface.
