What happens here
After wallpaper removal, prepare to sand the wall to achieve a smooth and uniform surface. As shown and described in the video, use an Aircat 6-inch sander that is connected to an Aircat sander vacuum. This integrated system is crucial for a dust-free operation, collecting particles as you work. Attach a Film Tech sanding disc to the sander's pad; the video demonstrates a 100-grit disc, suitable for general smoothing, while also mentioning a 60-grit for more aggressive material removal. The discs attach easily with a hook and loop system. Hold the sander flat against the wall, apply light and consistent pressure, and move it in overlapping passes over the entire surface, ensuring all remaining adhesive, minor imperfections, and textures are removed. Periodically check the wall with your hand for smoothness.
Goal: Achieve a perfectly smooth, clean wall surface.
