Q: Can you put drywall mud over paint?

• <div><p>You can put drywall mud over paint to even out the surface or entirely resurface it. Sand the surface with 280-grit sandpaper, vacuum the debris and dust with a shop vac, and clean it with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the surface to dry. Apply drywall primer, especially if you&rsquo;re skim-coating an entire wall. Apply the right <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-drywall-mud.htm">type of drywall mud</a> over the surface and smooth it with a trowel. Allow the layer to cure fully, then sand it before applying another layer or painting it.</p></div>

Q: Do I have to use studs for a TV mount?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s highly recommended to use studs for a TV mount. The last thing you want is to be watching your favorite show when the TV falls off the wall. Studs are much stronger than drywall and quite a bit stronger than drywall anchors but, if you can&rsquo;t find the studs or there simply aren&rsquo;t any where you need them, you can use drywall anchors. It&rsquo;s extremely important to make sure the anchors are rated for the load of the TV. We recommend using anchors that are rated far beyond the weight of whatever you&rsquo;re hanging. Our suggestion is metal drywall toggle anchors. </p></div>

Q: Can you put paneling over textured walls?

• <div><p>Yes, you can put paneling over textured walls. Of course, this will come down to personal preference and the type of paneling you want to install. From board-and-batten to shiplap and wainscoting, there are plenty of options to choose from.</p></div>

Q: How much does plastering a wall cost?

• <div><p>Applying plaster to a wall will usually cost between <b>$2 and $10</b> <b>per square foot</b> for both the material and labor. The cost will vary based on the quality of the plaster you&rsquo;re using and whether or not prep work is required before the work begins. Wall prep can add up to about 10% to your total costs. Plastering exterior walls can be more expensive in many cases because they are taller and require scaffolding and safety equipment.</p></div>

Q: Can you hang a 50-pound mirror on drywall?

• <div><p>A 50-pound mirror can be hung on drywall, but only if it has the support of strong hardware. Ideally, you can find the studs behind the drywall and attach the mirror to them; this will give your mirror better stability. Otherwise, confirm that you are using anchors appropriate to the weight of the mirrors. Another technique is to use French cleats&mdash;two pieces of wood that fit together, with one piece attached to the wall and the other to the mirror. This allows the weight to be distributed over a wider area.</p></div>
