After stopping everything to make a 50 mile trip to Lowe's in Evansville to pick up more Deft, I've wet sanded the front panel with 800 grit paper, dried it off, then gave it another coat of Deft clear. (Lowe's is the only place in my area that carries Deft.)
The panel is very smooth...I would say 95% or better of the grain is completely filled.
Tomorrow, it gets the PHILCO decal, followed by final coats of Deft.
Then, I'll have to finish getting the 19B cabinet body ready for grain fill, and repeat the process on it. Ditto the 42-761EZ cabinet.
In the interim between May and now... Radio Daze has begun to carry decals for Philco Tropic sets! Their DCL-PH-TROPIC sheet has some of the Tropic decals:
