How to Paint Plywood Edges

Painting plywood edges requires special attention to create a clean, professional look. The exposed edges of plywood can be challenging to finish smoothly.

Start by thoroughly sanding the edges to create a smooth surface. Use wood filler to cover any voids or imperfections, which are common in plywood edges. Once the filler is dry, sand the edges until completely smooth.
