1/2" or 5/8" drywall on ceiling?

[Tevi]

Put a small chunk of drywall under the prybar for a pivot point

Well, used the prybar tool(was fairly cheap) and all the sheets are now hung...have started applying the "mud" and am thinking of wet sanding...with a sponge?.....any experiences on this anybody? I've only ever used sandpaper but that is sure messy!

Try renting the Porter Cable disc sander.Near zero dust and it sands a large area making a better finish

I've had several people tell me about this....so I will be looking into it when the larger rooms are ready to sand...just seems like it's taking forever to finish off these rooms!
