You can definitely sand down the edge of your screen door by 1/8", but it really depends on what you're aiming for! If you want a clean finish, consider using a planer instead. Just make sure to go slow and steady if you stick with sanding. It's all about precision!

HandyHelper07: What do you mean by using a 'planner'? I might need to pick one up. And could you explain how to use a 'square' to mark the door before sanding?
