How To Drywall - Finish Sanding Ceilings

For more tips and tutorials visit: www.ehowtodrywall.con Hey guys today on howtodrywall.co I'm gonna be finish sanding a ceiling. This is one of the last pole sanding parts, we do ceilings usually at the end, but it don't really matter. This step is a quick step, we really only need to rough up everything that we coated. You don't need to sand this to perfection if your gonna put on texture on the ceiling. So when your sanding the ceiling I like to start with the edges, I go around the whole room doing the edges, just a quick pass to remove the big edges and lumps and other stuff. We use the rough paper for the ceiling, its the 100u paper, its petty rough, and it sand fast, so you don't need much sanding, since no one likes to sand ceilings. We don't need to sand the ceiling nails, they are gonna be covered with texture. After you sand the angles on the ceiling around the walls, no need to move on to sanding the flats on the ceiling. You really only need to make sure that you sand everything even with your Super Sander Drywall Sanding Tool, hit the big lumps and rough area a little more, but the texture will hide some. Get the edges of the flat quickly, down the middle quickly again and repeat till your done sanding all the flats and buts. This again should not take too long, when you are done this you should be able to move onto light checking. The how to drywall on light checking is next for you guys, remember always wear you mask when sanding.
