mark blocker: hi. i'm mark blocker on behalfof expert village. in this segment, we're going to cover sanding the door jamb. as ishowed you on our tools section, i'm using a basic hand sander that holds a one-halfsheet of sand paper. as you notice, you have overhang past the edge of the sander. a littletip: if you tear these corners back and then remove them, it will allow you to fold thisover, makes a good crisp clean, corner, for
paint colors for interior doors and trim, when you're operating in the corners here,and that way you can sand against both surfaces at one time and get a good crisp even linein the corner. otherwise, the sandpaper is likely to bunch up and ball and could leavegouges or deeper scrapes in various areas as you're attempting to sand. so now thati got my sander prepared for the job, i'm
using a 100-grit first and we're going tosmooth this putty down. and our basic goal here is to--to knock down the top part a littlebit, smoothen out, but just to roughen up this wood and stain so that the primer hasa better base to adhere to. and i'm going to start with the large flat surfaces firstand go long smooth even strokes. and, remember, at this point you would want to wear a mask.and as you can see by the white dust, i've just barely scuffed it and roughed up thatsurface, and what i've done is sanded it to a clear coat on here, and that leaves scrapesand dullness and that gives a surface for the paint to adhere to. also, if you noticed,it didn't require a whole lot of effort or time to sand that large area. a power sanderin this application was just too extreme,
it's going to remove material fast and it'sgoing to make it hard for us to keep the surface flat, as well as smooth. the next step iscome in to the corner and repeat the process. maybe add a little putty, then a little bitof extra time there, get the putty knocked
down. long smooth, even strokes. inspecting,checking your corners. make sure everything has been fixed, step over to the next edge...duplicatethe process...then tothe outside of the moulding...remembering at all times to keep this sanding path flatto the surface you're working on. anyway, please watch our next segment on "sandingthe door jamb, part 2."
