Sands are much more compact than dust. Their component cannot be break apart easily. On the other hand, dust can be broken into very very tiny particles. Its component is less than. Therefore is much lighter and can be carried higher and farther.

On an interior wall do I wash the wall first or spackle first?

Yes! You should make sure the wall is clean and free from dirt and dust and any loose particles. Then spackle. After you sand and smooth the spackle, you will probably have to wipe down the walls again to get rid of dust.


Do you need to sand between coats of water based gloss?

Great question! As it is not a requirement to sand between coats when painting, to ensure the best possible finish and leave your customer happy, I would most definitely recommend it. A light sand using 220 sand paper will give you good adhesion on your top coat of gloss as well as knock down any dust or debris that has made its way into your finish. Remember only a light sanding is needed, so don't go making a mess, and always make sure you use a damp cloth to wipe up all of the sanding dust. Good luck, and Happy Painting.

What is the best way to fill in the grooves in paneling prior to painting?

Sand the area where the groves are. This will clean the area for the next application. Assuming the the panels are made of wood in this instance then purchase a good quality wood filler. This is bettter than wall fillers which are made of a silica powder as the wood filler allows for some expansion in wood. Fill the joints with the filler leaving it slightly proud of the groove. Then using either an electric sander or an 80 grit sand paper wrapped around a wood block sand the joint until its smooth and flush with the surrounding panels surface. Make sure that you leave at least 12 hours between filling and sanding to make sure the filler in its depth is hardened. then prime, lightly sand,wipe all dust off, undercoat, sand with a light 220 grit and wipe againt to remove top dust and then apply the top coat x 2

What will get blown furthest dust or grains of sand?

Grains of sand will typically travel farther when blown by wind compared to dust particles. This is because grains of sand are heavier and more resistant to being blown around in the air. Dust particles are lighter and can be easily carried by lighter winds.

How does the energy of motion affect the deposition of sand and dust by sandstorms and dust storms?

This wind is usually caused by convection currents (which are created by intense heating of the ground), and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause the mixture of higher winds in the troposphere with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.
