What happens here
Once the first coat of grain filler is completely dry, sand the surface again using the orbital sander. The goal here is to remove any excess filler that is sitting on top of the wood surface, leaving only the filler that has penetrated and filled the grain. Repeat the application and sanding process for additional coats as necessary, until the wood grain is no longer visible and the surface feels perfectly smooth. The video emphasizes that 'MORE COATS ELIMINATES MORE GRAIN'. Clean all sanding dust thoroughly after each sanding session.
Goal: Smooth out the grain filler and eliminate wood grain for a flawless finish.
