Prepare Surface by Scraping Loose Paint

What happens here

Use a paint scraper or an electric sander to meticulously remove any loose or peeling paint from the affected areas. The video shows the painter using an electric sander on a garage door frame and a scraper on a wooden trim piece to effectively eliminate all deteriorated paint, exposing bare wood where necessary. This step is crucial for achieving good adhesion for the primer and caulk.

Goal: Begin by removing all loose or peeling paint using a scraping tool or an electric sander. This ensures a smooth and stable surface for subsequent priming and caulking, preventing future paint adhesion issues.
