What happens here
If the previously sanded surface still shows subtle ridge lines or minor imperfections after the first coat of paint (as seen in the video), apply a thin, even coat of Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty using a spackle knife. This putty is used to fill very small imperfections. Allow the putty to dry for about an hour. Once dry, sand the Bondo smooth using a fine sanding sponge until it blends seamlessly with the surrounding surface. The video implies that some top coats may require a primer over the glazing putty to prevent bubbling or pinholes from a chemical reaction; therefore, a primer coat should be considered optional depending on your paint system.
Goal: Fill any remaining minor imperfections for a perfectly smooth surface
