Apply Second Primer Coat and Inspect

What happens here

Once the first coat of primer is dry to the touch, gently run your hand over the entire primed surface to check for any rough spots or inconsistencies. If necessary, lightly sand any rough areas to ensure a perfectly smooth surface. Then, apply a second coat of Zinsser Peel Stop Triple Thick High Build Binding Primer, focusing specifically on any areas that were previously bare wood to build up sufficient protection and achieve optimal bonding. Allow this second coat to dry completely.

Goal: Achieve full primer coverage and a uniformly smooth surface.
