Refine Plaster Medallions Without Flattening the Detail
Map the relief first, then match narrow abrasive strips and shaped supports to broad fields, ridges, grooves, and fragile edges.

Control static before, during, and after scuffing PVC sign sheet so loose dust does not become trapped nibs in the first paint coat.
Map high and low areas, support the abrasive across the repair, and refill depressions instead of sanding the surrounding surface into a dish.
Separate loading, dulling, grain loss, backing damage, and process mismatch before replacing sandpaper or changing grit.
Decide first whether the goal is improvement or complete flattening. Protect edges and body lines, measure coating when the system demands it, and establish a small...
Use raking light and a light guide coat or pencil witness marks where appropriate. Do not keep sanding the surrounding matte area until the gloss disappears; that can...
Do not solve immediate loading by pressing harder. Confirm the resin’s cure schedule and temperature, remove any manufacturer-specified surface contamination, and...
Stop abrasion immediately, identify which layer is exposed, and follow the coating system’s repair procedure. Expanding the feather edge without a plan only enlarges...
Clean away fillers and residue, inspect under more than one light, and identify the scratch family before applying more abrasive. Straight isolated lines are not...
