PSA; drywall work...

helpful tip #1: When applying drywall mud, add a little water to it before application....this will make for a smoother finish and less sanding

helpful tip#2: If you need to smooth the drywall mud, use a sponge that is slightly saturated with water....this will smooth down the excess mud and not create a dust storm in your house

See what I mean.

I'll take that as a yes. BSGal said she'd paint it.

Stepped right into that one, didn't ya?

 

[onebdzee]

BSGal said she'd paint it.

Make sure you warn me before you get her down there to paint....I'd like to get my stock in Sherwin Williams

Your weekends are now dedicated to home improvement projects. There is no more football. Don't even think about watching a race.

No bout a doubt it. But I can negotiate a little with drying times.

Doctor, I have a question. How can a sponge be "slightly saturated"? Either it is saturated or it is not. Like "kind of preganant" or "killed dead".

I have a truckload going to the landfill this weekend.

It's wet....but, not dripping wet

Cool, tell DR to swing by here and pick up all the ones that I have too....I think the guy that lived here left about a dozen or so

Of course, projects like this interfere with internet time, too

So it is not saturated?

Not really. I had a load of forumites come by and laugh at me when I was painting. Just give them your addy. They'll come by, drink your beer, giggle at your paint choices, and it will be just like you're on the forums. Except worse.

Is there a smiley for tazing? If not, should be...lol

I am just trying to figure this all out. I might want to try this drywall thing one day.

Great, just what I need, more supervisors, people who point! That drink my beer!

Drywall isn't that easy to me. Painting a smooth wall is one thing, making it flat is another. Personally I prefer thinking about doing rather than doing it anyday!

They were fun. For about a minute.

Well I just want to know if I am supposed to use a saturated, non saturated or maybe a poly unsaturated sponge.

I really don't think I need to explain this any further to you....it requires painting after the "drywall thing" is done

Oh so you are just going to confuse us all and then leave. Well let me tell you missy, if I end up rubbing a dry sponge on fresh drywall and ruin it you are going to come fix it.
