Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Clean the Surface

Before you begin sanding, clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, grease, and any loose particles. This ensures that the sandpaper doesn’t become clogged and can perform efficiently.

Step 2: Begin Sanding

Attach 400-grit sandpaper to your sanding tool. Sand along the grain of the wood or in even circular motions for other materials. Apply light to moderate pressure for the best results.

Step 3: Inspect and Re-Sand

After sanding, wipe the surface clean with a microfiber cloth. Inspect for any areas that might still have imperfections. If needed, re-sand those areas lightly.
