KMS Woodworks on Oct 05, 2012Can you post a pic? Dark spots can come from a lot of sources. usually sanding removes them. If the top is veneer then over sanding can be a real problemHelpful Reply

Warren G. on Oct 06, 2012Are you using an random orbital sander or are you sanding by hand? If you are sanding by hand you may just be missing the spot and not putting enough pressure in the right spot. By using a random orbital sander you get an even amount of pressure over a wider area and sand a greater area level. This will clean all the imperfections . What you may have is just some stubborn paint that you are not getting enough pressure on by sanding by hand. Start with 180 grit and then go to 220 and finish up 320 before you apply your finish and you will have a piece of furniture worth handing down to your children. Chalk Paint does not make a family heirloom, Natural Wood does.Helpful Reply
