How to make a wall smooth, Semi-Gloss shows all the flaws !!

[Carm]

skim coat if you know what you are doing. I had to skim coat a section of wall that had a knee wall. I removed it and skim coated the surrounding area and retextured the whole wall. Trying to do a spot texture doesnt always work. If you want it to look good, get some drywall guys in there to smooth it over and texture. Getting walls smooth is a PIA.

FWIW, I use semigloss in all my rooms. Looks nicer than flat, easy to wipe down (kids,dogs)
