Step 8Oops!
Here is where I ran into a little trouble. Once the clear coat was dry, I started sanding it with 220 grit paper. It was going good, but I decided to put the sand paper on a wood block to sand with. I figured it would even out the sanding.
Apparently, the wood block I was using was not perfectly flat. As soon as I started using it, it sanded through the clear coat and stain on one edge. I thought I could just sand off the clear coat and touch up the stain. That didn't work. So, I switched to 100 grit sand paper and started sanding.
Be sure to use a perfectly flat block or premade sanding block if you are going to use it on the clear coat. I abandoned it on mine because I didn't want to have to sand it down again. There is the ever so slight possibility the drum could be sanded out of round, so don't use an electric sander in any case.
