When hand sanding, it’s important to apply steady and even pressure to the surface to ensure its sanded evenly. This is why using a hand sander results in a higher quality job. 2. For surfaces with odd profiles, like crown molding, a traditional hand sander won’t work. They make a hand sanding kit with interchangeable profiles that can work for a variety of unusual surfaces, including around stair balusters, in tight corners, molding, etc. Resources: Nathan demonstrated the 20 piece Hand Sanding Block Set - Hook and Loop Interchangeable Assorted Shapes [https://amzn.to/36eRQKb], which is manufactured by Tool Guy Republic (https://ift.tt/2U96pwK) and can be found through online retailers.
