Subject: Sanding will help, but I'd use 600 grit Author: DavidC (moderator) : member since December, 2003 : 11918 posts Posted on: 2005-03-13 21:23:07

Wet sanding may not be necessary, though. When I finished my trim pieces, I dry sanded.

However, nothing will compensate for the differences between spraying and using a brush for the finish. Why not go ahead and spray the pieces while you have them out? I think you'll be happier in the long run.
