Should I Sand It? #shorts

What happens here

The video begins with an expert introducing a piece of siding material, clarifying that it appears to be wood but is, in fact, a composite material commonly known as LP, TruWood, or hardboard siding. This initial step focuses on correctly identifying the material that might be mistaken for natural wood and therefore incorrectly subjected to sanding.

Goal: Distinguish composite hardboard siding from natural wood.
