Thanks Ron... another one saved from the scrap heap.. Well Almost.. a 1936 624 with a rotten bottom is sacrificing it's dial glass for this one.

Ditto the ease of having Mohawk aerosols @ your hdwe. store. I have to order mine online---just about doubles the price including the shipping charges.

you know.. it dawned on me I never posted a completed pic. so here are two.. it did turn out a bit shinier than I expected.. but I'll improve on my authenticity as I learn more..
I guess I should've wiped off the fingerprints before I snapped the pics.. [img][Image: http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag147/bfrohwein/Philco%20610/P1000812_zpse09838e6.jpg][/img]

bfro...
I learned several years ago to mask off finished veneer and then do the toner sections. Had the same thing happen...tape peeled off the toner. No fun redoing. Your cabinet looks great

I Actually picked up some of the yellow frog tape after that incident.. I had no problems with it at all.. the yellow frog tape is just slightly more sticky that a post-it note. also I got smarter about masking.. I was wrapping the paper around and taping to the bottom or the inside of the cabinet.. that worked out well also.. I'd rather waste 3 dollar per 200' roll of masking paper than try and repair!
