Hey Guys....
I'm prep'ing a room to paint for the first time since it was built. The
drywall in this room and several others is "nappy" -- there seem to be
fibers from the cardboard facing or somewhere else that were raked up
and stick through the primer and paint.
The wife and I have been attacking this for two days with an electric
sander to knock down the fuzzies, and clean up some of the mud joints.
This is going slowly and making a HELLUVA mess.
Questions;
* Any ideas what would cause nappy drywall? Moisture exposure perhaps?
* Any better methods for sanding? Since we're starting with a painted
surface, I don't think the "screen" type abrasive cloths I've seen sold
for drywall work would work well.
* Any suggestions on cleanup? The vac' is still leaving all kinds of
crap behind. I'm thinking maybe tack-cloths like the body-work guys use?
-Thanks for any input!
Wayne
