I'm going to be ankle deep in sander dust and elbow deep in PVA sealant soon.... help!

Apparently all this prep is worth it, but you never see them do this on YT! They just make it look fun!

Yep! The prep is worth it. I started small with a wooden ikea step thing that I could afford to ruin. Have since done bigger pieces but the results are variable. Sometimes they just don’t look right no matter what you do! But the prep will make it long lasting and that’s important,

Ok, I look forward to seeing it! Are you changing the handles? I saw one of them was hanging off anyway.
