We had plywood furniture which was quite rough and had bumps. Before painting, we wanted to understand how to smooth plywood for paint. So, we called an expert who did the job and also told us about a few ways to improve the smoothness of plywood before and after painting. Let me tell you everything about the same below.

How to Make Plywood Smooth for Paint?

  1. Filler: Use wood filler to fill up holes, cracks and other imperfections. Use a putty knife to apply the filler and seal the holes. Smoothen out the surface after that.

  2. Sand Down: Use 180-220 fine grit sandpaper to sand the plywood. This will ensure the bumps and lumps are removed, creating a smooth surface. For expert sanding, I recommend you call a professional. After sanding, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust particles. Then, wipe down with a clean and dry cloth. You might need to sand in between primer and paint coats to preserve smoothness.

  3. Polyurethane: Use polyurethane for a shiny and smooth finish. It is applied after you’re done painting. Apply a coat and let it dry before you use the plywood.

So, these are all the methods the expert shared. I hope you now know how to smooth out plywood for painting.
