Mastering the Art of Sanding Wooden Cabinets with eQualle Sandpaper

Introduction

Sanding wooden cabinets is a key step in achieving a flawless finish, whether you're restoring old cabinets or preparing new ones for painting. Using a combination of eQualle sandpaper grits, from coarse to ultra-fine, ensures professional results. This guide will help you select the right grit for each step of the process.

Why Use Multiple Grit Numbers?
