What happens here
Begin by applying a paintable filler, such as spackle or joint compound, to all visible nail holes and minor imperfections on the door frame trim. The video shows red marks, which serve as visual indicators for areas requiring attention. Use a putty knife or a small smoothing tool to carefully spread and smooth the compound, ensuring that all imperfections are filled and the surface is flush with the trim. Immediately remove any excess compound to minimize sanding later.
