Expert Tips

Surface Preparation Determines Final Finish Quality

Most finishing problems originate during sanding, not coating.

To improve results:

► Progress through grit levels gradually
► Avoid over-sanding edges
► Keep sanding pads clean
► Use dust extraction where possible
► Replace worn abrasives early
► Apply even pressure across surfaces

Better sanding control leads to higher-quality final finishes & reduced rework.
