Late model 116B cabinet
#28

Tnx Guys!
I was hoping to have it done before Christmas (sort of a present to myself) but didn't work out. I think I was hurrying the process too much ending up w/some frustrating results. Was getting hazy spots and some light patches. Ended up stripping one side and the top finally get rid of these anomalies. I found that Blush Remover was my friend in that it seemed helped level the finish along with removing most of the haze. Was pretty handy. The actual repair work to the cabinet was fun/relativity easy. The baseboard,trim, and repairing the hole was a piece of cake. Finishing not so much. Having done leather finishing for almost 30yrs I guess I'm too fussy.

This is the first time I've used Mohawk satin 55% all the others I've used the gloss 80% which I wasn't real happy with (too glossy). Have used some hardware store satin but was very disappointed with it. It looked ok from a distance but close up and on photos it looked to have a white haze. The haze was caused by the flattening agent used the dull the clear down not from blushing from humidity. Very annoying to do a bunch of prep work and have the final coats screw up the previous work. I think the 55% is what I've been looking for, we'll see after buffing.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
