What happens here
Begin by thoroughly preparing the furniture surface. This involves cleaning the piece to remove any dirt, grease, or grime. If there's an existing finish, sand it down to create an even surface and improve adhesion for subsequent layers. The video shows an orbital sander being used, suggesting a previous sanding step or current sanding to prep the surface. Vacuum or wipe away all sanding dust before proceeding.
Goal: Clean and sand the furniture for optimal adhesion and smoothness.
