Philco 50 (early) cabinet restoration
#14

so....I did some sanding on the first round of gloss clear and .... managed to sand down into the toner layer and make a mess of things on the front arch.  Thought I could reapply some sanding sealer and bingo when I did it blushed like crazy...it was much too humid outside when I did it.  I didn't take a pic but the arch was streaked with white blush.  Today the humidity was lower so hit it with Mohawk No Blush and that cleared it up.  Followed up with some light re-toning and another round of clear gloss.  Its glassy gloss now but will let it dry/cure for awhile and either do another round of lacquer or try rubbing it out to see how it looks.
