1. Sand the Surface

Start sanding with a sander to level out the surface and remove imperfections, beginning with 120 grit and continuing up to 320 grit.

Make sure that the entire surface is sanded. Wipe surface between different grits.

2. Switch to Damp Sanding

For the desired finish switch to damp sanding with foam abrasive (make sure both abrasive and surface are wet).

For a matt or satin finish sand once with 360 grit (matte) or 500 grit (satin). If you want a glossy finish, damp sand with foam abrasive up to 4000 grit.
