Called BS on the wet sanding method for drywall for years...

An old timer at the supply house in Nashville kept telling me to try wet sanding my mud instead of dry sanding. I just figured he was stuck in his ways and didn't want to buy a pole sander. Last month I had a tiny bathroom job with no windows and the dust was just insane. I finally caved and grabbed a sponge and a bucket of water. Honestly, it cut the dust down by like 90 percent and the finish was way smoother than I expected. I still use my pole sander for big open rooms though. Has anyone else had better luck with one method over the other depending on the room?

My pole sander kicks up dust but I can feather edges way better than any wet sponge ever lets me.

Ended up switching to a vacuum sander and never looked back.
