Corner Sanding

Finishing drywall is always going to require a certain amount of sanding. The traditional method employs a sanding pole that is used to sand flat areas as well as corners. When using the sanding pole in corners it can, if not used carefully, sand a groove into the wall. Removing the thin strip of sandpaper that folds over the side of the sanding pad will help.

If you're doing a small, one-time drywall job, consider sanding sponges. These sponges have a grit coating that will go a long way when sanding drywall. Look for one that is made especially for corners.
