The walls in my home have a number of coats of paint, and have lost their
smoothness. Which would be better, skim coat with joint compound, or just
sand them with an orbital disk sander? The latter seems like less work,
although messier. I am concerned about the longterm adhesion of the skim
coat to the existing flat paint.

Appreciate any comments.
