What happens here
After allowing the glaze to dry (about 15 minutes), the presenter moves to a sanding table. He demonstrates sanding the 'breakaway' glaze using fine sanding sponges (Mirka Abralon or Norton A275, very fine and super fine). He emphasizes using light pressure, as the glaze comes off easily. He shows how to remove glaze from flat surfaces and leave highlights in the cracks or routed edges to create an antique or distressed effect. He also experiments with circular sanding motions for a different texture. He advises that if too much glaze is removed, it can be re-sprayed and re-sanded.
Goal: This crucial step involves carefully sanding the dried breakaway glaze to create various distressed effects, highlighting the cabinet's features and achieving the desired artistic look.
