Sanding marks
Definition
Score marks with swollen edges.
 
Cause
Sandpaper used to sand the putty or surfacer was too coarse or the sandpaper used for the final sanding was not fine enough.
The surfacer was not allowed to become fully cured before it was recoated.
 
Prevention
Use the recommended sandpaper for sanding: Putty: initial sanding P 180, final sanding P 320. Surfacer: dry P 400, wet P 800.
Follow specifications in the Technical Data Sheet on drying the surfacer.
 
Remedy
When the middle coat has dried through, finely sand and polish the affected area.
For deeper score marks, sand and apply another coat of middle coat.
