Just realized I've been using the wrong kind of sandpaper for drywall this whole time. Found out in a library book from 1998.

A library book from 1998 is the source of this revelation? My local branch still has a card catalog. I'm shocked the book didn't recommend using a horsehair brush for the final coat. Products and methods from that long ago are often just obsolete, not secretly better.

Why are we acting like old info is automatically wrong? That 1998 book was written when pros actually used their hands more. Maybe that specific grit and paper type works better for certain finishes. New isn't always better, sometimes they just change the product to sell more. You might have been doing it the right way all along and the new stuff is just marketing.

My grandpa swore by his old sandpaper methods... said the new stuff just wears out faster.
