The Tool Barn


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!

And more mud
