Before priming, identify any small holes in the molding or trim. Apply spackle to these holes using a putty knife, ensuring they are adequately filled. Once the spackle is dry, use sandpaper to sand the patched areas smooth and flush with the rest of the trim. Also, lightly sand all molding and trim surfaces to improve paint adhesion and ensure a smooth finish. After sanding, remove any dust with a vacuum or damp cloth.
