What do you suggests for sanding down taped seams on drywall after it is painted?

I would think the sanding blocks sold for drywall sanding would work fine, they may clog easier because of the paint, but they should work fine.What do you suggests for sanding down taped seams on drywall after it is painted?
After it is painted it is the painters responsibility. It is the painter's responsibility to accept or reject the finish he is painting. If all of this is you, you are in a bunch of trouble. Painted drywall mud can not be sanded easily. Sorry, there is no easy fix at that point.What do you suggests for sanding down taped seams on drywall after it is painted?
You can purchase a screen-like 'paper' designed specifically for drywall seam sanding at HD or Lowes. Use that instead of regular sandpaper since it will not clog.





If you are smoothing a seam, use a wet (wrung out) cloth and rub the seam lightly, The water will soften the top layer of ';mud'; and spread it out for a smooth finish
