Today the sun finally came out after days of cloudy skies and frequent rain, and it is the first time in several days that the high made it above 60 - and it may be the last time it makes it above 60 this year as the highs go back down into the 50s tomorrow and for the next several days. So I decided to lightly wet sand the T7-5 and give it a couple more coats of clear.

It is looking pretty good at this point and I think I can call it good enough, save for a final rubdown which will depend on how things go. The decal lines no longer show. The blemishes turned out fairly well. I'm satisfied with this cabinet overall. It certainly looks better than it did to begin with!
