I was recommending the use of the damp sponge ONLY for the area
where the person mudding is trying to blend the thinnest area into
the flat of the wallboard.<br>
<br>
I agree that what ever covers the tape is by good enough to be
painted. If we start sanding the mud we look at an immediate future
with every piece of electronic equipment being covered in fine
white powder. Besides, consider the condition of the existing
walls.<br>

sponge while mudding rather than sanding after, my experience was
that it was much easier to get a smooth surface using the putty
knife than the sponge. the gaps between the upper and lower walls
were so big that they will almost certainly require two passes on
mudding.<br>

unless I end up with gobs and gobs of job interviews this week,
i'll probably put in another afternoon's work, but i don't really
have a plan yet as to which day that might be.<br>

we might be able to smooth the wall surfaces with just<br>
a damp (or wet) rag. that, or maybe smooth them enough to<br>
require only a little final sanding.<br>
standards of smoothness are quite elastic at noisebridge,<br>
seems to me: there's always the "natural" or "primitive"<br>
standard of "fuck it".<br>
