Sanding the Wood to Refinish a Door Jamb: Part 3

Video Transcript

MARK BLOCKER: Hi. I'm Mark Blocker on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment, we're going to cover "Sanding the Door Part 3". Just finished puttying and we still got a few minutes before the putty dries thoroughly. But we could take this time while we're waiting and do some sanding work on those nicks and corners I discussed earlier when we're doing the puttying. So, this time I'm still using that 100-grit paper, long smooth even strokes and just lightly round it around and we want to remove as little material as possible to remove the dent and just give it a smooth, even appearance. Now, if you can see in the video where the dark wood comes through and then you see a white spot there, that's an indication we still have a dent. To get that smooth, one of the benefits of the primering is it allows you to better see the work that you're doing and ensure that you're getting it even. That's why we waited till after we primer to sand off those edges 'cause we don't want to sand anymore the edge off than needed to remove the dent and a get a good smooth appearance and that's kind of assistance for us to ensure that we don't go further than necessary or don't go enough to get the dent out. So now we've got the edges the way we want 'em and the putty is dry. This phase of sanding, we're still going to use 100-grit, and if you feel the surface after you painted it, you'll feel its just got a slightly rough texture to it and all we want to do is just knock down those very top edges. So, we don't want to use a lot of physical force or pressure, but we just want to lightly go over it and just quickly knock down the impurities in the paint to get it down to a smoother finish. And this just requires a few light strokes over an entire door. So, you just want to make sure that you go around and get the entire door smooth light strokes, knock the surface down. Please watch our next segment on "Caulking the Door Jamb".
