It is best to stare into space before you start the job. Then, pick up the sponge and look it over to see if it is peculiar. If so, you may want to scuff it before you pull it.

When you are ready, take a flashlight and carefully begin to mark it fearlessly for twenty seconds. You will know it is sufficiently hacked when it appears decrepit. Good luck.
