Easy
Wet sanding is generally used in the automotive field but lately, I've been using it on my wood projects. I learned how to do it as a teenager when my mechanic father taught me how to wet sand the dashboard in my car. It is a really easy process and adds a more professional look to my projects!
Use waterproof sandpaper in 320, 400, and 600 grits, and your favorite sealer.
Wet the sandpaper, sand the project, and add a layer of sealer. That is it!
It can't get any easier to attain professional results! It may take a little more time with the additional sanding but it is well worth it!
Enjoyed the project?

Cher @ Designs By Studio C on Apr 02, 2014@SK on Elderberry I'm sure the neighbors think I'm weird because I'm always "petting" the wood finish and smiling!
