   But beware, says Mike Collins, vice president of business development for Full Circle International Inc. in Minneapolis. ,When using the ones with rectangular heads, if you don,t have the pole at the correct angle the sanding pad can flip over and cause scratches and dents.,
   ...
   Collins agrees. Especially for smooth surfaces, sanding the primer is important. ,Many claim they do it, but not everyone does. If you know what you,re looking for it is very clear,, he says. While it is not as much a problem if you are using flat paint, he explains, ,high-gloss paint shows everything, and contractors will often sand between every coat when using high-gloss.,
   
   Some people assume that primer will cover up a number of ills. Collins says that, while high-build primers can hide some scratches, applying a primer often helps show imperfections in the wall. ,Many imperfections you can,t see until after you prime, especially if you spray-apply the primer., For that reason alone, he says, priming is very important.
