You need a drywall ceiling polisher to give your ceiling a professional look. It is much easier than you may think. To get the best results, you must know how to use it correctly.

You must prepare the drywall before using a sander. The drywall compound must be removed and the joints compound applied to fill any gaps. Next, you will need to sand all joints. You can use a sponge to sand the joints. But, you can also use a handheld sander.

When you sand a corner, you must use moderate to light pressure. Sanding too hard can create grooves and scuffs. Sanding the corner's inside can also cause damage to the drywall paper. To prevent this, use a sanding sponge to sand inside corners or a hand-sander.

A pole-sander equipped with a swiveling head is a great choice for larger areas. This will allow you to reach every corner and ceiling. And it will reduce slippage.

A swivel-sander's handle retracts to make it easier to store and transport. Some models even come with an integrated light. These lights are useful for inspecting the wall and identifying problems.

In addition, a sander can be equipped with a dust collection system. If the sander isn't equipped with one, a shop vac or a vacuum can be used to collect the dust. Vacuuming the wall is an effective way to prevent drywall dust settling in your home. Although a sander will remove fine drywall dirt, it won't completely remove it.


There are many types and models of sanders. You can choose from the basic manual sander or the more powerful vacuum models. Each sander can be used for its own purpose. For small jobs like drywall repair, the sanding sanding blocks work well, while the pole is better suited for larger jobs.

Before you begin to sand the wall, look for cracks and/or ridgelines. These cracks can be dangerous and could cause serious problems. Mark the joints and walls with pencil. This is a good way to determine where you want to sand.

A handheld lamp will improve visibility. This is especially handy for corners and other awkward spots. Another option is to shine a flashlight parallel towards the wall.

To address trouble spots, a sanding-sponge can be used. You will need to wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Avoid inhaling drywall dust. Dust can cause asthma, coughing, and phlegm formation.

The BNR1841 Drywall Sander's motor is powerful enough to create its own suction. The BNR1841 comes with an extension hose which can be used for sanding the edges. This sander has another advantage: the removable brush segment can be quickly removed to sand the entire edge.
