What happens here
Prior to applying any wood grain filler, it is crucial to prepare the furniture's surface. Utilize an orbital sander with an appropriate grit sandpaper (typically 120-180 grit for initial sanding) to remove any old finishes, smooth out minor imperfections, and create an even texture. This mechanical preparation ensures that the wood grain filler adheres properly and creates a uniform base. Ensure all surfaces, including edges and intricate details, are adequately sanded to remove gloss and provide a 'tooth' for subsequent coatings.
Goal: Begin by thoroughly sanding the entire wooden furniture piece to remove any existing finish imperfections and prepare the surface for optimal grain filler adhesion.
