It's sanded it's sealed now I am going after all the pin holes with epoxy and real spot putty, not the glazing putty(red stuff from autozone). Before the pin holes get filled I have a long process of scraping with a razor blade and resealing, scraping and resealing,etc. etc. I usuallydo about four reps of this process to make sure that no water can touch any bare wood (without help from some kind of hard object).
