You have to begin with a completely smooth surface area to wind up with perfectly painted walls or woodwork. One pro tells PM that Sander would be a more fitting job title than Painter given that he spends so much time pressing sandpaper. Sanding levels outs spackle or joint-compound patches and flattens ridges around nail holes. Sanding likewise gets rid of burrs and rough spots in your trim.
