Issue 1: Drum machine marks.
When using a belt or drum sander, it is crucial to exercise caution and lift the sander at the end of each run to seamlessly blend the starting and ending points. Otherwise, wherever the drum stops, an additional divot will be created, which will become apparent in the final outcome.
Issue 2: Insufficient sanding depth.
To achieve a uniform finish, it is essential to sand the surface as thoroughly as possible. Any existing flaws, unremoved sealant, deep scratches, or dents will remain visible in the final result. Moreover, these imperfections can hinder the bonding of the new finish to the polished timber.
To avoid these problems, make sure to extensively sand the surface using the appropriate tools, such as a drum sander and edge sanders.
