What happens here
Begin the sanding process for each plywood layer. Use a power sander (like a DeWalt palm sander or a Black+Decker orbital sander) to smooth out the rough edges from cutting. For coarser sanding and faster material removal, a 50-60 grit sandpaper is recommended. Orbital sanders are efficient but may leave swirl marks. Finish by using a palm sander, moving with the wood grain, to eliminate any swirl marks and achieve a very smooth finish. Pay close attention to the intricate curves of the sink basin.
Goal: Smooth all cut edges of the plywood layers for a clean finish.
