Should you sandpaper a wall before painting?

Personally I would strip the paper but,Yes, providing the walls are in good shape the paper has no overlap splices.Patch holes with patching plaster and use sanding block till smooth/ flush. If there is loose paper, use wall paper paste to secure. Last cut it, don't pull. It could wind up in a bigger area to repair.Important thing about patching plaster, good for small nail holes and minor stuff. Bigger holes need Drywall wall compound. AND! use drop cloths always and cover/ block off doors and openings. Cold air returns and heater vents or you will have dust everywhere.One or two small holes hold vacuum next to area as you sandI would use a Sherwin Williams Colored oil base primer first which will aid in using less paint. Color would be same as what you are painting. Then apply your Latex paint Preferably Sherwin Williams over top.

Can a nail gun be used on a plaster wall?

I wouldn't recommend using a nail gun on plaster, it may shatter around the area you would be nailing. I would predrill a whole and use screws into the studs. I recommend using a concrete drill bit. If you plan on covering the entire wall with wood or something then you could get away with using a nail gun, but if you ever take that wood down the plaster wall will be ruined. You could always fill in the pre-drilled holes and paint over it if you ever wanted the plaster look again if you went with screws.

How do you care for a injured turtle whose shell has been punctured?

In 1991 our family had a tortoise and the family dog bit a hole in it's shell. Actually, two. We took the tortoise to a friend who cleaned the holes and applied plaster-of-paris. For years the tortoise had the plaster cast on it, and as the tortoise grew, pieces of the plaster would come off. All these years later, the plaster is completely gone, and the tortoise has a beautiful shell. You can't even tell that it ever had a problem.

Why did Henry Moore put holes in his sculptures?

The holes in Henry Moore's sculptures are a way of playing with mass and space. For simple definitions, mass is any part of the sculpture that has a physical weight and space is any part of the sculpture, such as a hole, that does not.Using holes makes the sculpture more abstract, and as a less literal representation of an object it can make the observer think more about that artistic choice. It can make the absent part more important or less important than the rest of the piece, and lends itself as a natural focal point.
