Inspect and Fill Imperfections

Flat Sanding cabinet doors. Cabinet Painting 101
What happens here
After initial sanding, position the inspection light across the door surface again at a low angle to highlight any remaining imperfections. For small nicks and dings, use a Hyde scraper or a putty knife to carefully remove raised material or smooth out minor bumps. For larger knots or deeper damage, apply Crawford's Spackle first. Once dry, sand the spackle smooth. For very small or shallow imperfections, or to top-coat larger fills, use Bondo Glazing Putty for a very smooth finish. Ensure all seams on the cabinet doors are also filled to achieve a seamless appearance.
Goal: Re-inspect the sanded surface under proper lighting to identify any remaining nicks, dings, or seams, then use appropriate fillers for repair.
