Applied mist coat & sanded down. Do I wipe walls to get rid of dust?
Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.34 PM
Hi. I had bare plastered walls in my bathroom and have applied a mist coat, all good. There were a few imperfections so I filled and sanded with fine sandpaper and now look great. My question is how do I get rid of the dust? Vacuum my walls and paint or wipe down? Both? Itching to get started but don't want to mess it up.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

It is always good to get rid of dust before painting. My advice is to get a damp jumbo sponge and wipe off the dust. If you have sanded down and exposed new plaster, please make sure you do touch up of mist coat to cover the plaster. This way you seal it and provide great surface for a top coat. You do not want to end up having a flaking paint on those spots.

Use a vacuum and a soft brush to get rid of the dust and makes sure you mist coat all areas that you have filled before top coat
