Exterior sanding and priming question
Hey Dude, firstly, no water! Just use some sort of a brush. An old 3" paint brush, preferably bristle, with the handle cut off makes a great duster. No water. As far as feathering old paint edges out, unless you're doing it for the looks, you don't need to. A palm sander with 80 weight paper will make you good time on the flats, and then you can use the same by hand. Split a full sheet in half, then trifold each half for your handpaper. For the areas that will be seen to clean up the edges, you can use some 50 or 60 on the sander, then follow it up with some 80. Alternatively, you could spackle (not joint compound, good exterior patching compound) the areas rather than feathering the edges. But up high and out of the way, it's not a valuable use of time, and some of that is too be expected/forgiven on old homes.
