What happens here
All visible nail holes from the brad nailer are filled with Minwax wood filler. A technique of applying a small amount and scraping off the excess is demonstrated to minimize sanding later. Once the filler is dry, the entire shiplap and trim structure is sanded smooth. The builder shares a tip about adjusting the oscillation speed of the sander to avoid sanding through the primer on MDF surfaces, especially when using a finer grit. After sanding, a damp rag is used to meticulously wipe down all surfaces, removing any fine dust to ensure a clean finish for painting.
Goal: Fill all nail holes and imperfections with wood filler, sand the entire structure smooth, and clean off all dust to prepare for painting.
