Wet sandpaper is used by briefly soaking or wetting the paper with water and then sliding it back and forth across the surface. Water helps to clear away dust and debris which would otherwise clog the paper.

Technically its not sanding, because sand paper is not used. Use a wet sponge and rub the dried mud. It will dampen the mud and smear it around effectively feathering it out and filling in some gaps. Since the sponge is not stiff or flat like a sanding block, you may still have high and low spots in the seams. I prefer to sponge 'sand' on the first go around so I don't damage the tape and feather out the edges. Then do a final 'real' sanding to get rid of the high spots.

When you walk across dry sand you sink when you walk across wet sand you do not sink why?

As the dry sand is loosely packed/coupled with each other thus the substancial force which are required to hold each granual is less as compared to the wet sand. when the sand is wet the forces of attraction increases as the each granual of the sand is easily coupled increasing the substancial force. thus a person can walk over wet sand rather than on a dry sand


If you get dry wall wet is it dry wall or wet wall?

The old labor intensive way of putting up walls had wet plaster attached to and around slats of wood (called lathing) where it dried into a wall. The current technology uses large panels made of dry plaster like material called Dry Wall attached to wall studs by nail, screw or glue. Another name for Dry Wall is SheetRock. It should be kept dry. Once it gets wet, it loses its integrity and it is no longer viable. It is no longer Dry Wall or Wet Wall but it is Garbage. Dry wall would technically be wet wall anyways considering how you need liquid to be able to make it. BTW, I am an 8th grader from 2017-2018 and will be in high school from2018-2019.


Why does dry sand weigh more than wet sand?

Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!
