that makes sense, thank you for answering. Since it's already messed up, I might as well yes, try pulling some of that stuff out and see how it goes. Thank you! And I will ask him anyway. just to annoy him...lol...or to see that he answers my question. :-)
In fact, it could be why it was so glaring if he used caulk under the eggshell finish. I'll check.

If it is caulk, sanding won't get you the finish you want, you should be able to grab the dry caulk and pull it out of the bad patch job. Then get some spackle, depends on how big the spot is to be filled, smooth it with a wide blade putty knife, let it dry, then paint. See if you are satisfied with how it looks when it dry's compaed to the other finish, and that will tell you if you want to do the rest of the wall or not.

Now the person that painted seemingly used caulking. He gets irritated when I ask him any questions, so I'm afraid to ask exactly what did he use. When I was sanding over the blotchy places today, it seems that under one spot was a tacky material. Therefore I assume it is caulk, or caulk that did not dry properly before he applied the paint to it. I am trying to sand out the spots he left, maybe I can, maybe I can't do the job, but I am willing to try, and then paint over the sanded down areas. My first question is: do you think that pasty stuff that I found slightly under a patched up job is caulking? And if so, can I sand it down enough to smooth it out and paint over that area again? (wot a mess)
