How to Prep Textured Walls for Painting: 3 Tips Making Stucco & Brick Look New!

What happens here

For block walls, unlike drywall, plastic anchors often do not recess easily when hammered. Instead, use a sharp 5-in-1 tool (or a similar scraping tool) to precisely slice off the exposed portion of the plastic anchor, making it flush with the wall surface. This prevents an unsightly bump once patched.

Goal: Effectively remove plastic anchors that are protruding from a block or stucco wall surface to create a flush base for patching.
