Before applying Osmo Woodfiller or any other treatment, it's crucial to sand the wood carefully. Start with a coarse sandpaper to remove rough patches and then gradually move to finer grits for a smoother finish.

For flooring, the final sanding should be done with a grit of P100-150. This creates a smooth, even surface that's ready for staining or varnishing. Remember to vacuum and wipe down the surface to remove any dust before applying the new finish.

When preparing wood for refinishing, it's essential to start with a clean surface. Begin by lightly sanding old microporous finishes or simply cleaning them if they're in good condition. This ensures that the new finish will adhere properly.

If the wood has layers of old varnish or lacquer, these must be removed through sanding. Sanding removes imperfections and creates a smooth surface, ready for the application of a new finish.

For furniture, a finer grit of P180-240 is recommended for the final sanding. Furniture often requires a smoother finish than flooring, so using a finer grit sandpaper helps to achieve this.
