Inspection Light basics. Paint Kitchen Cabinets.

What happens here

Once all imperfections have been identified with the inspection light, proceed to fill them. For larger imperfections, use a spackle product like Crawford's Vinyl Spackling Paste. For smaller imperfections and fine details, Bondo Glazing & Spot Putty (red) is recommended. To apply the filler, you can scoop a small amount onto a piece of cardboard if you're doing extensive filling, or directly onto a putty knife for smaller jobs. Carefully apply the chosen filler over each identified imperfection, ensuring it's slightly overfilled to allow for subsequent sanding. The video shows applying Bondo glazing putty to fill seams and other minor flaws on the cabinet door.

Goal: Correct all identified imperfections on the cabinet surface using appropriate fillers.
