Hi!
I have a wall that someone did a lousy drywall job on. So, apparently, someone tried to hide it with a lously spackling job. They spackled over the wall in lots of places to try to make it look better, I guess, but it probably made it look even worse. Now there is lumpy spackle all over, which has been painted over. Any suggestions for the best solution? Should I scrape and sand, and then spackle any small holes, and then just finish with a skim-coat of compound for the whole wall to make it all smooth and even? Thanks!
