What happens here
After applying an initial coat or to smooth out existing wall texture, use a scraping tool, such as a 5-in-1 painter's tool or a putty knife, to carefully scrape away any imperfections, loose paint, or high spots in the wall texture. Apply light, even pressure and move the scraper across the surface to knock down irregularities. This step helps achieve a smoother finish before applying subsequent coats of paint.
Goal: Smooth the wall surface by removing imperfections.
