Answer
For rattan, use 220 or 320 lightly on rough or glossy areas before coating.
Why it happens
Rattan is flexible and textured, so it needs light sanding only on rough or glossy areas.
Recommended grit
Use 220 or 320 for light prep before paint or finish.
Wet or dry
Dry.
Success check
The rattan is lightly scuffed without frayed fibers.
What to do
- Clean the rattan first.
- Sand rough or glossy spots lightly with 220.
- Use 320 for finer prep.
- Remove dust from woven areas before coating.
Avoid: Do not flatten the natural texture with heavy sanding.
