We’ve all been there.
You want to repaint a room in your house. You remove the trim, but maybe you (or your demo hubby) don’t score the trim and sure enough… the paint pulls the paper on your drywall right off.

Those days are over, folks!
Please note: Obviously, the best thing you could do is to not have this happen. When removing trim, baseboards or anything that has been painted or caulked on a wall, score it with a utility knife. It will save you lots of time.
Step 1 – Clean up the paper
Using a utility knife, remove all loose paper from the wall. You can cut more of the paper off, that’s no problem, you just want to have clean lines.
Step 2 – Sand It Down

Step 3 – Prime It
Using a good primer, you’ll want to prime the paper. Why? We’re going to be filling in this area with joint compound. If you don’t primer it first, the paper will basically suck up the moisture from the joint compound.
