What happens here

Once the shellac primer has dried thoroughly, use a very fine 1/2-inch Equisilk sponge to carefully sand the primed surface. This crucial step ensures that the primer coat is perfectly smooth, as any lingering texture or imperfections will be visible through the final topcoat. The thinness of the shellac primer requires a very fine abrasive to avoid sanding through to the underlying layer.

Goal: Achieve a perfectly smooth primed surface

Tools and materials

  • 1/2-inch Equisilk sponge — Finely sanding the thin shellac-based primer coat to achieve smoothness
  • Sanding pad/block — Holding the sponge for even pressure and better control (implied)

What they say

Hide

out, you're going to see them just as bad when you reshoot it. So, I used Filmtech uh 320 to sand. After I shot the primer, which is really thin shellac-based primer, I used a very fine 1/2-in Equisilk sponge to sand the primer cuz you want to make sure that's actually smooth before you shoot the second coat. Shot the second coat, door looked absolutely amazing. How to deal with fish eye and contamination.
