Furniture Flipping 101: Transform Your Thrift Finds into Treasures!

What happens here

Once the Aqua Coat is completely dry, sand the entire surface to remove any excess product and create a smooth, even base. For this step, filmtech sandpaper is recommended for flat surfaces, and Ecodiamond sponges are ideal for conforming to edges and curved areas. The white spots visible after sanding indicate where the Aqua Coat has filled the deep pores of the oak grain. The goal is to achieve a uniform, smooth surface.

Goal: Smooth the grain-filled surface and remove excess Aqua Coat.
