Sand and Distressing Techniques

spread all right here we are at our sanding table now I'm ready to start sanding my breakaway glaze I've got multiple doors and idea I got one this is about five minutes ago you can see it is still wet this one's done about 15 minutes ago it's just about dry as you can see right here I'm gonna show you how easy this stuff is to sand I've got to my sanding table right here I really like using a white bar I've got a light bar set up right here this was a white bar that I made so when you sand your breakaway glaze you want a very fine sandpaper I'm using at the self class I got a super fine and fine you don't need anything you don't want anything rougher than that it's C and it is you barely have to put any pressure and the glaze just starts coming off and what I want to do is on these cabinets I just want some left in the cracks and highlights and the cracks it all just depends on what you want it to look like the end result leave as much as you want or take off as much as you want to give you the desired result I typically like to take your motive and off and just leave a little bit of highlights left but that's where your key creativity you know as a cabinetry finisher you know comes in you can see I can I can do different effects I can sand it in a circular motion if I want it'll create kind of a different effect once you decide how you've done and you've got to be able to you'll replicate that from door to door once you get one door done you can have that have it sitting right next to you so you can have an idea and you comparison as you're doing your glaze so I can leave some right here then this side this edge right here that gives it a really nice effect to that clouded edge if you took off too much and you don't like it all you got to do is just reach spray it and then Reece and it again 15 minutes my sprayer still loaded up I can reshoot it and it's no problem I got my UNITA Equis and series 2 vacuum right there it's a HEPA vacuum so I'm gonna vacuum this off see where I stand right now if I want to do any more Samian I'm gonna show you there's a couple options you can do when it comes to actually taking off your power glaze just rubbing or buffing it off here it is a scotch-brite fine brillo pad so you can use something like this or once again this is a super fine or very fine sanding sponge whatever works for you you just don't want something rough that's gonna scratch your finish underneath so Scott's right pad is a little bit finer slightly…
