4. Check your progress regularly to avoid over-sanding and adjust pressure as needed.
5. Replace the sandpaper when it becomes worn or clogged with debris.

After Sanding

1. Use a clean cloth to wipe away any dust or debris from the sanded surface.
2. Inspect the surface and repeat sanding with a finer grit if a smoother finish is desired.
3. Clean the sanding block and store it in a safe place for future use.
