Hi All ,
Just a quick one before I start taping my drywall/plasterboard joins .
I have several joins where I had to cut the plasterboard to fit and there are small pieces of the paper coating sticking down from the ceiling at the joins ( similar to torn paper edges) .
Before I start applying the mesh tape and filler is it an idea to sand the surface . The reason I ask is that I am concerned that I will sand through the paper coating and reveal the plaster core.
I am not skimming the ceiling just taping and filling before painting .
Thank in advance for any help and advice given
Glenn
