There are a few spots on here that are iffy still. I'll have to hit it a few more times again with a sanding block.
I regret not taking a before picture. Sigh.
I hit one of the ceiling cents and it comes off OK, but not great.

Butch was a dear and sifted all of the remaining sand so I'm ready to hit it again sometime soon.
