Sand the Edges and Cracks

Sanding gaps with Ekasilk 5mm course abrasive. #ekasand #deckprep #diy
What happens here
With the detail sander selected and prepared, begin sanding the edges and cracks. Hold the sander firmly and carefully maneuver it to 'offset' the pad, allowing it to penetrate into the cracks between the wooden boards. Apply gentle, consistent pressure. The goal is to sand down any rough spots or 'fuzzy' areas on the edges, and inside the cracks where larger sanders cannot reach. Move the sander slowly and steadily along the length of the cracks and edges, ensuring an even finish. Periodically check the surface by touch to gauge the smoothness and determine if further sanding is needed.
Goal: Smooth rough edges and fuzzy areas within wood cracks.
