How to Fill the Holes for Painting a Bathroom

Hello my name is Grady Johnson and I'm a professional painter. Today I represent expertvilliage.com. Now we're going to talk a little bit about spackling. When you're spackling to prepare for painting whether for oil or latex, you want to spackle the holes that are on the flat surface of the wall. If it?s a hole that?s stuck in the corner just fill that with caulking and that will do fine. Just be sure you smooth it out like we talked about in the caulking section. With spackling the advantage is this actually can be sanded. Now, whenever you're spackling there are a couple of things you want to spackle. First of all you want to look for any holes in the wall that are really large. If they are real large just put a little bit of newspaper behind it and that will hold the spackling on. Most holes are going to be small like the ones you see here, just little holes that people use to put up pictures or to hang things on the wall. For that I just use a flex blade. You won't have to even sand it if you use the lightweight spackling. You get a little bit on the edge of your knife then just go ahead and fill the holes, then smooth it out with your flex blade. What that flex blade does is even that out so I can cover the hole then I can take that excess up. This way I won't have to do any sanding on it. Now go ahead and take that pin out of there and even that out, fill it all up. That will completely disappear then when I paint it, it will be good. Well those are just a couple of tips to keep in mind when you are doing your spackling when you're preparing your bathroom for painting with oil paint.
