feather the paint in
poncer


Explanation:
C'est difficile à déterminer sans plus de contexte, mais il est possible que cela signifie qu'il faille poncer la couche de peinture qui se trouve sous la bande avant de poser celle-ci s'il y a des grumeaux ou des copeaux.

Example sentence(s):
  • En cas de présence de copeaux/grumeaux, poncer la peinture.

disagree  Tony M: No, the 'feathering' is what you do at the actual moment of applying the paint.
