What happens here

Once the wood putty has dried (indicated by the color change if using the recommended product), sand all filled nail holes flush with the surface of the MDF. The video suggests using a 180-grit sanding block. After sanding, apply one to two coats of primer to the entire hexagon accent wall. MDF is highly absorbent, so primer is crucial to prevent the paint from soaking in unevenly and to ensure a smooth, durable finish. Use a brush for hard-to-reach internal hexagon areas and a small foam roller for the outer faces to maintain smoothness. After the primer dries, lightly sand the entire primed surface to remove any remaining imperfections or harsh lines, ensuring a perfectly smooth canvas for the final paint coats.

Goal: Sand the filled nail holes smooth, apply one to two coats of primer to the entire accent wall, and then lightly sand again after the primer dries to ensure a perfectly smooth surface for painting.

paint on it thanks guys for the wood filler I like to use a product from DAP which has a color-changing additive that applies pink and then it turns tan when it's dry and ready to sand [Music] alright guys so I was standing everything down flushed sweating up a storm I don't you can see that listen it takes a little bit of elbow grease here to stand everything flush that's the reason why we have courage and sweat on our shirts here is because it takes the courage to try projects like this not be afraid to fail and it takes sweat it takes a lot of hard work to actually execute this kind of stuff but that's not a project you just tackle in 30 minutes so courage and sweat guys embrace it it comes with every kind of project I think it just helps us in life so I'm going to finish this up and then I'm going to shoot some primer on end the primer is meant for because MDF is like a sponge soon as you put paint on it just keeps absorbing until it fills up all the pores so to prevent that I'm gonna put one or two coats of primer give it a light sand and then we'll do the paint I got a special surprise to the paint it's kind of interesting I hope you guys like it when applying the primer I would recommend using a brush for the inside hard-to-reach parts of the hexagon and use a small foam roller for the outside faces this will help keep a smooth surface to save you a step on the same later on in process alright so the primer is dry we only brush it on about two coats on there and yeah you're gonna see all these lines there but the trick is you have to sand it and I'm just using a little 180 grit sandpaper there little block and we're just gonna get rid of any of these harsh lines so that way when the paint goes on it's going nice and smooth so prep is
