Tried to use my old belt sander on a maple countertop and it looked like a bad haircut
I was in a rush to finish a job in Portland and thought I could just knock down some glue squeeze-out with my 3-inch belt sander. It grabbed the grain and left a deep, wavy gouge about 6 inches long that looked totally crazy lol. I learned that maple needs a way lighter touch and a proper orbital sander for final passes. Anyone have a good fix for a deep sanding mark without having to take off a ton of material?

What if you just filled it with a clear epoxy? Might be less work than trying to sand the whole thing flat again.
