What happens here

Focus on preparing a nightstand (table) that has received Bondo treatment. Use the Ekasand 3x4 sander with a vacuum attachment to smooth out the Bondo-filled areas and the rest of the table surface. The presenter notes the table has a rustic look with intentional dings, but the Bondo was used to eliminate specific nail holes for a smoother finish in those areas.

  • Ekasand 3x4 Sander Ekasand — Sanding Bondo and furniture surfaces
