Philco 640 Cabinet Refinishing Chronicles
#72

I took a drive down to a local Mohawk distributor at lunch and told them what I wanted to do regarding filling the last remaining spots of grain. The guy at the counter recommended this:

It has a small applicator brush in the lid. My plan is to drip this into the few remaining areas where the grain is still showing, build it up as needed, and then sand even with the rest of the cabinet. I know it is a gloss lacquer and may be a little more difficult to sand than sanding sealer but I'd rather deal with this than breaking out the grain filler again.

I also bought some Mohawk replacement spray tips. The "Fine" ones. I'm hoping that will limit the flow of the Extra Dark Walnut and, along with proper spray technique, keep the toner from running.

Regarding sanding sealer in general, if it is not the greatest thing to have below your finish coat of lacquer than what purpose does it serve? Why would anyone want to use it?
