What happens here

After sanding, it is crucial to thoroughly clean the mantelpiece to remove all sanding dust. First, use a soft dusting brush to sweep away loose particles from all surfaces of the mantel. Then, follow up by wiping the entire mantelpiece with a clean microfiber cloth. This ensures no dust remains that could interfere with the adhesion or smoothness of the final paint coat.

Goal: Remove all sanding dust for optimal paint adhesion.
