Now time to sand it down. Again I used a small putty knife to spread it on but also used that same knife to knock off the high spots much like when you do your first coat of drywall mud. I then lightly used a 60 grit to further knock it down. Then finished with a 220 grit on a sanding block. I liked the results but as I though the perforated holes for the speakers did not work out so well. I used a drill bit to recreate the holes but in the spots where the cracks were it didn't seem to take hold in between. I think now I will need to apply some filler underneath to strengthen it then let it dry and then drill. Although I did find that if I dabbed the holes with the drill bit while applying it wet I was able to secure a good hole pre sanding. We will see!
