Gerry :-)} London, Canada Good thing that dolls can't sue. My staircase came loose and knocked over Hamilton the butler. He wasn't happy. Carol S P Miniatures http://www.spminiatures.com |

wrote: My problem is that the house is already built but the walls are not finished...the wood is quite rough. Can you still sand properly? This is my first house. You might want to invest in a Dremel (or comparable) detail sander. This has small sanding plates that will get you into tight corners to enable you to sand the thing properly, so you'll be proud of the result. You could also use small sanding blocks and hand sand it. It makes the best sense to learn to do things properly at this point in your career, rather than learn "shortcuts" and work-arounds that will enable you to do a halfway job. Do it right the first time, and you'll never have to go back and fix a cob-job. -- Chuck *#:^) chaz3913(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Anti-spam sig: please remove "NO SPAM" from e-mail address to reply.

wrote: What I do is put a thin coat of paint on the wall. That raises up all the junk in the wood and then I lightly sand with a medium grit paper. I paint again and sand again until it's smooth. It's not really a lot of work and it goes quickly. That's what sanding sealer is for. If you use a coat of that to do the same thing, your paint and your sandpaper will go farther, because not only won't you be using your paint as a sanding sealer, but you won't be filling up your sandpaper with pigment when you sand it away! -- Chuck *#:^) chaz3913(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Anti-spam sig: please remove "NO SPAM" from e-mail address to reply.
