Once the wood filler or epoxy has fully cured, the repaired areas must be sanded to achieve a smooth, seamless surface. Use an orbital sander, starting with a medium-grit sandpaper (e.g., 80-120 grit) to remove excess filler and level the surface. Progress to a finer grit (e.g., 180-220 grit) to achieve a perfectly smooth finish that is flush with the original wood and ready for painting. This step is crucial for eliminating any visible ridges or imperfections from the repair, ensuring a professional final appearance.
