What happens here

After all fillers (JB Weld Quick Wood and Bondo Glazing Putty) have fully dried and cured, proceed to sand the repaired areas. The video demonstrates using an Ecosan 3x4 sander, which is connected to a dust collection system via a hose, helping to keep the work area clean. Carefully sand the re-shaped corner and the patched nail holes/dings until they are perfectly smooth and seamlessly blend with the original trim surface. Start with a medium-grit sandpaper (e.g., 100-120 grit) to remove excess material and then follow with a fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 180-220 grit) for a super smooth finish, ready for primer and paint.

Goal: Achieve a smooth, flush surface on all repaired areas.

What they say

Hide

I'm working on some 4-inch trim right here where a dog chewed off the corner. I use JV-Weld Quickwood, molded it around the corner, it dries within an hour, and I'm using my Ekisand 3x4 Sandler to sand that corner. I also use some Bondo glazing putty to patch some nail holes and some neck and dings, and I'm sanding that also.
