Always Sand after Priming Drywall

An often overlooked and important step when renovating with new drywall. After the board is hung, finished and primed, remember to lightly sand the primed walls again before finish painting. Now you may be thinking "SAND AGAIN?!?" after just finishing the messy drywall stage, but a light sand with 150 or 180 grit sandpaper is very important. Whether you use a separate primer or self priming paint, both will raise the nap of the board making a slightly rough surface. Not much effort is needed to achieve a significantly smoother wall with a simple, easy sand. You won't be creating much dust, so a vacuum or damp rag with quickly remove any excess dust. Now after the primer is lightly sanded you're ready for the finish paint. Come see us for your primer and sanding tools!
