Surface prep for painted wall for tape
I just finished putting up partition walls in a basement. The existing walls and ceilings have been painted with a semi gloss paint. Any thoughts on prepping the painted surfaces before I tape and joint the new dry wall were it meets the old walls and ceiling. (i.e. sanding, prime, do nothing…)
Thanks

no... why ?... you're roughing the surface.. all scratches are going to be filled with joint compound ..
i'd use a 100Mike Smith Rhode Island : Design / Build / Repair / Restore
