>> So, to start with, I would sand with a 220 grit with Filmtech 220 with a interface pad on the 3x4 sander, especially if it's a shaker door. So, we drop in, we don't do any damage, but I would sand it really, really good, then blow it off. And then, uh, with my edges, I would probably go with uh the 180 echodiamond. >> Okay. >> Right. And then in between coats, I recommend very fine cuz I I just want to put that scratch in there for that second the next coat to adhere. Right. >> Right. So, and 320 you can use between each step, each coat. So if you're laying down two two different coats over the paint, you can sand with 320 in both steps. >> So it doesn't have to be very complicated. I can sand with a 220 to begin with and then a 320 in between coats.
