Wet Sanding???

Today and yesterday were dedicated to sanding, and this time it was wet sanding. We heard about it from a friend, you use a sponge and wipe the area down, and feather the edges. This is done on the first and second coats, the third is done with sand paper. Our first coat was a bit rough and this method wouldn't work. The second coat went on smother and the wet sanding method worked great. Thank you Beth for the tip.

For this job here are the tools of the trade. Once the mud is wet again,
it's easy to scrape down any little ridges.
