Round 2
In the course of sanding over the old nail holes you
may have uncovered bubbles which developed in the holes. When you sand the top
from these holes you will expose small pock marks in the finish. These need to
be fixed!
Fixing the pocks and sanding
Using a rag, wipe down the skim coat to remove any
leftover dust. Place some mud in the pan and thin it down a bit more. Using
either the large knife or a smaller one, fill in the pock marks. You might have
to work the compound over the holes several times to get rid of any leftover
bubbles. Use more pressure on the knife, if necessary, to force the mud into
the holes. Let this dry and sand these areas again. Wipe the dust from the
wall and get ready to paint!
