If you've made it this far, congratulations! Now all that's left is the finish work. Apply wood fill to each of the holes in your wainscoting panels.. Once the wood fill has cured, sand down the holes using the mouse sander or sandpaper wrapped in a block of wood. DO NOT simply use plain sandpaper and your hand. You can wind up over sanding the filled holes and it'll be noticeable when you finally paint. Once sanding is complete all that's left to do is paint and presto, instance virtual wainscoting look and appeal.

In the example above, picture frames were installed at a 4" spacing from top to bottom and a 7" spacing from frame to frame.
