Sanding and Painting Stained and Lacquered Cabinet Doors

What happens here

For detailed profiles and edges, switch to the 1/2 inch sanding sponge on the power sander. This thinner sponge allows for better access into the intricacies of the door's design, preventing flat-spotting while ensuring an even scratch pattern. For areas that require even more precision or for a final touch on edges, use an EkaDiamond flexible hand sanding sponge. This sponge offers superior control, allowing you to carefully sand right up to delicate edges without altering their shape. After sanding, run your fingers over the surface to check for any missed spots or areas that need further attention. If you notice any 'burn-through' to the bare wood, do not attempt to strip the entire door; these small areas can be addressed during the priming stage.

Goal: Thoroughly sand detailed profiles and edges, achieving a consistent mechanical scratch without compromising the door's shape.

show up in your paint right and so you started off with the um 10 millimeter uh closed cells sponge on your flat surfaces then you'll switch over to a different sponge now yeah I'll go in with and the reason being is because I do have a lot of pillow topping in here I got a lot of profile that'll need to be sanded so I can turn this in that's the nice thing about the 3x4 again I've talked about it before I always offset a little bit Yeah I do that a lot [Music] foreign [Music] you can see a little bit of cut through even with the half inch and that's okay you know we're not we're not completely cutting it down yeah we I mean we see that all the time it's not very um uncommon at all it's typically always going to cut through just a little bit and that's where you know depending on what top coat you're going to be using some cough coats require a primer and then a multiple top coats um some of the uh one and 2K polys we're using their self-seal products and they'll seal that bare wood you know on your first coat and so they're a little bit simpler and easier to use I know you got an echo Diamond sponge would you use that at any point in time on this this door yeah the edges are something that I usually go back to hand sanding on and the reason I do you can use the sander I'm not saying you can't but for me I get a little bit better control by grabbing the door and I can actually get all the way up to this right without changing that so I like to hand sand my edges all the way around and then I usually check too after I sand all of this to see do I did I miss anything did I miss anything in here that I might need to hit you know if I maybe the sander skipped over right here and I might might need to get in here the nice thing about the hand sanding sponge is it gives me that ability because it's very flexible right so I can turn it any way I want and get in right and say it it didn't take you very
