Sanding for Smoothness

What happens here

Once the filler or primer has dried, use an orbital sander to smooth the entire surface of the furniture piece, including the top, legs, and any intricate details. The video shows a vacuum hose attached to the sander, indicating a dust collection system is in use, which is highly recommended for a clean working environment and better visibility. Sanding removes excess filler, evens out the surface, and creates a uniform texture for optimal paint adhesion.

Goal: Thoroughly sand the applied filler/primer and existing surfaces to achieve optimal smoothness, essential for paint adhesion and finish quality.
