Found out the hard way that wet sanding beats dry sanding on butt joints
I was working on a ceiling repair last Tuesday over in Phoenix and the dust was absolutely killing me. My helper kept coughing up a storm so I finally grabbed a spray bottle and tried wet sanding the mud on a butt joint. Man it was so much smoother and zero dust clouds everywhere. I used a sponge with a bit of water and the finish came out way cleaner than I expected. Has anyone else tried wet sanding on a bigger job or does it just slow you down too much?

Dang, I was totally against wet sanding till I tried it on a ceiling job. You're right.

Wait, you actually tried it on a ceiling? How did you keep it from dripping everywhere?
