Tip of the Day

[DUD]

When sanding sheetrock, close to the wall or overhead. Either use a mask, or keep Your mouth closed. Bill

[JR]

LOL! Thanks for the advice, Bill. Do I really want to know how you came about this wisdom?

[DUD]

JR I think I should keep My mouth shut about that. Bill

[Mr__Bill]

Best not to chew bubble gum too

[mater]

Good tip. I learned the hard way.

[DUD]

Ken I think I did too. Bill

You can add no open drinks to the list.

This should go in the FAQ & FYI files!

Adding a few more warnings:

It could be scary looking in a mirror when finished sanding.

Make sure you blow your nose before going to Home Depot.

Completely dust yourself off before driving your car...you could get pulled over.

Use a clean rag to sneeze in...not your hand.

Dud,

That's why I wet sand with a sanding sponge. You can also rent a drywall sander that has a vac attach.

I like to sand with this.

And do try out that new 'dust control' joint compound - dust particles cling to each other, so you don't get that fine airborne stuff. Really cut down on mess during latest room remodel.
