Hi,
I will be painting a bathroom that has a textured design at varying
angles on the walls like this: ((((( and currently has a semi
gloss paint finish. I would rather not use a deglosser as the room is
not well ventilated. Is there a way or tool I can use to lightly sand
the paint and get in the crevices of the texture so the new paint
(also semi-gloss) will adhere properly? Thanks.

add fans wash with TSP rinse twice, then prime well with oil based
KIlZ, then paint normally.

Good time to add a exhaust fan if you dont already have one, vented to
the outdoors.

high humidity leads to mold growth and paint peeling

You don't need to prime a wall that is already painted. �The wall needs
to be clean and dry. �Use favorite household cleaner to wash the wall -
brush if needed over the texture - rinse and dry. �The texture itself
will give tooth for the new paint to adhere. �There is an amazing amount
of moisture, unseen, after showers. �Run a fan and wipe the wall dry
when ready to paint. Light sanding of trim and doors would be a good idea..- Hide quoted text -

Priming ends the chance of poor adhesion for any number of reasons,
and peeling is way more likely in a bathroom.

it costs little and cave ooodles of grief later........

based on that its worth the added cost and hassle, which is minimal to
begin with
