SANDING

• Sand all seams. Leveling seam surfaces between all panel edges is critical to help avoid seam telegraphing.

• Use either an electric belt sander or commercial floor sander and begin with 80 to 100 grit sandpaper and finish with 120 grit sandpaper.

• Sand all seams at a 45º angle approximately 8” in from the edges. Check along all seams for faded X’s to assure every edge has been sanded.

• Avoid over sanding and avoid dishing or cupping of surfaces.

• Hand sanding is not sufficient.

• Sweep and vacuum all dust and debris thoroughly.

WARNING: Wood dust can cause eye and breathing problems. Always place safety first and wear a dust mask and safety glasses or eye goggles.
