Step 6 · Sand and Finish the Wine Rack
Start with a coarser grit sandpaper (e.g., 100-120 grit) to remove any imperfections, glue residue, or rough spots. Progress to finer grits (e.g., 180-220 grit) for a smooth finish. Wipe down the rack with a tack cloth or damp rag to remove all dust. Apply your chosen finish (stain, polyurethane, lacquer, or paint) according to the manufacturer's instructions, applying multiple coats if necessary for durability and appearance.
