To countersink screws properly for a professional finish, follow these steps:
- Choose the right size drill bit for the screw head.
- Drill a pilot hole for the screw.
- Use a countersink bit to create a recess for the screw head.
- Drive the screw into the countersink hole until it sits flush with the surface.
- Fill the hole with wood filler and sand it smooth for a seamless finish.
