Step 4: Time to Sand Give your compound about 30 minutes to dry (yes, that fast). When the patch is completely covered and dry it is ready for sanding. Using the 3M™ Advanced Abrasives sanding pad provided in the kit sand smoothing out any bumps and imperfections in the compound. Be careful not to sand to much causing the mesh patch to show. If this happens you will need to apply more compound and start the sanding process again.
Step 5: Paint
When the sanding is completed, the wall is ready for paint. One of my favorite things about the 3M Wall Repair Kit is the 3M™ Patch plus primer . In case you missed it before the spackling compound already contains primer which is pretty much the coolest thing ever. One thing you can never get back in this world is time, no matter how hard you try. Spending an hour waiting for primer to dry is almost as exciting as watching the grass grow. Being able to skip this step is pretty wicked awesome!
CONGRATS! You just Fixed your first Hole in the Wall!
