What happens here

Once the spackle has thoroughly dried (typically 10-15 minutes, depending on humidity and thickness), use a medium sanding sponge to lightly sand the spackled areas. The goal is to achieve a perfectly smooth and flat surface, free of any raised edges or texture from the spackle application. A block sanding sponge is recommended for flat trim surfaces to ensure even pressure.

Goal: Smooth out dried spackle to prepare for the final Bondo application.

all right so you got all that spackling done we're gonna let that dry that speckling would dry probably about 10 to 15 minutes so we're gonna sand it we've got a sanding sponge right here we just typically use these block sanding sponges i like those they're flat especially when we're dealing with trim like this that's flat and we're going to sand it and just lightly sand it now if you you sand this back like that right here if i just sand that right there and i just leave that i'm done with that when i spray this right here you're gonna see where that nail head is if you look in the right lighting that's where the bondo comes in place the bondo gives you that better finish that ultra finish where it's gonna completely hide that nail head it sounds sands down finer and harder so you can't see so we're just going to go along sand each one of these with a sanding sponge and once we're done sanding that then we're going to hit it with our bondo in the same baffle mine [Music]
