What PAINTERS do. #dream #cool #prettylittlething
What happens here
With the work area prepared, kneel down to position yourself comfortably for sanding. Attach a medium-to-fine grit sandpaper (e.g., 120-180 grit) to your orbital sander. Turn on the sander and systematically move it along the entire length of the baseboard. Apply light, consistent pressure, allowing the sander to do the work. Pay close attention to corners, edges, and any areas with existing paint drips or imperfections to ensure a smooth, uniform surface suitable for painting. The video demonstrates a person using an orbital sander horizontally along the baseboard.
Goal: Achieve a smooth, uniform surface on the baseboards
