Hi, I am in the process of painting a room(note: these walls are sheetrock) that the walls were covered with wallpaper. I already removed the wallpaper but noticed that the walls are not all smooth. The sheetrock material is showing in some areas, in other words it is as if the paper has been ripped -not smooth.. It feels/looks like cardboard in some areas- you can see brown cardboard, it is not all smooth.. This must be because I removed the wallpaper and the glue removed the slight layer from the sheetrock.. Anyways, should I just smooth the areas with joint compound?? then sand? THANKS- I usually paint walls that are plaster, not much painting of sheetrock
