Six layers of paint! and I screwed up...
I am in the process of preparing my dining room walls to be painted. There was a small patch of peeling paint that needed to be removed. I got carried away and now have a very large butterfly shaped spot on the wall where all 6 layers of old paint have been removed down to the original plaster skim coat. The edge of the paint is very defined and sharp. My question is this: What is the best way to hide the edge? Do I sand a large area of the paint in order to smooth out the edge? Or do I try to fill the gap with joint compound or Durabond or something similar and sand it smooth? Thanks for any help.
