Philco 80 Jr. Restoration Chronicles
#33

Hi Bill,
>Also do you know whether anyone has ever tried to use Minwax stains for these, instead of the Mohawk toners? These are more readily available where I live.

Yes and it is very noticeable!
It's difficult to get the depth and proper color with stains. Different process as stains are absorbed in to the wood toners are topical. You can add more depth by adding more coats of toner yeiding better result and faster, important in manufacturing.
Mohawk products are sold by a number of outlets that can be found on the net. You'll need a can of sanding sealer, the two toners and gloss clear. Think there about $8 a can.
