Sanding Flat Surfaces and Profiles

begin doing my sanding now i sanded that right there flat and it happens extremely fast if you have a good sander the um ekasan 3x4 sander is absolutely amazing it sanded that flat eliminated all the egg shelliness also part of making sanding enjoyable is not getting all dusty and dirty having it hooked up to a vacuum system this is a hepa vac system and it keeps a dust free environment when sanding so we're going to continue sanding i'm going to do my flats first and then we're going to begin doing our profiled edges we always do our fronts and backs of the doors one thing um it is good practice to always do the backs first flip it over and do the fronts because if you do your backs first and you don't have it on a good clean surface there's any um contamination if there anything rough or anything that could scratch you know the face you could you don't want to scratch the face you want to do your face last and the back first you can see there's large knots in here so these large knots this is what it looked like on the other side of the door i'll give you a little tips and tricks when it comes to filling these knots these are really large you don't want to use bondo glazing putty to do anything large in the beginning you want to use spackle so i'm going to do the initial fill with spackle sand that and then i'm going to use bondo glazing putty over the top of that so i'm going to sand the back of this door the knots on the backs weren't filled before which i don't think is really a good finished look to it so we're going to actually fill these knots on the backs of all these doors this time when these cabinets are repainted i'll show you some sanding i typically would fill this first i'm just going to sand this and then and then we're going to fill it [Music] so this is this type of door i'm talking about this is the back side of a door and this is more of a shaker style door so you got this lip right here if i run my sand up against this you're going to get some vibration on the sander running up against there you could damage the pad on your sander that's where these 10 millimeter sponges really come in handy when uh sanding because it's not gonna your um sanding pads not gonna ride up against there and it's not gonna damage the edge so this is a really short lip so a five millimeter sponge is gonna work great for that i'm gonna switch over to a five millimeter and now i can begin sanding so i got my um my vacuum here this is my vacuum with where i…
