What happens here

For the recessed profiles and areas where the orbital sander cannot effectively reach, switch to a fine-grit sanding sponge. This tool allows for hand sanding within the smaller, contoured sections of the door, ensuring that every part of the surface receives a consistent scratch pattern. While the orbital sander excels on flat surfaces, a flexible sanding sponge is crucial for maintaining uniformity in detailed areas. The goal remains the same: to create a fine scratch for the new coating to adhere to, without aggressively removing material.

Goal: Address the recessed profiled areas of the cabinet door, such as the inner edges of shaker doors, using a fine-grit sanding sponge where the orbital sander cannot reach.
