Wood Preparation - Margot A. Clark, Inc

Wood Preparation

Fill any holes or flaws in the wood with wood filler. I use J.W. etc Wood Filler.

Sand in the direction of wood grain with medium, then fine sandpapers and then remove sanding dust with just slightly damp cloth.

If it will be basecoated in acrylic paint, seal the wood with 1” wash/glaze brush and J.W. etc. First Step Wood Sealer or other good brand of wood sealer. Let dry thoroughly.

Sand again, using the fine sandpaper then the sanding film to smooth down the grain that was raised during the sealing process.

Basecoat the piece with the color and brushes indicated in the project instructions. Smooth, solid coverage is required for good painted basecoats. Apply two or more slightly thinned coats for a smoother finish. Let dry between coats and sand with the sanding film between coats.
