Thanks, guys!
I had a bit of a scare today...
After returning home from my half day at work to find the rain holding off, I decided to take everything outside and start spraying clear Rustoleum Lacquer on all of the pieces.
The tops immediately blushed like crazy.
And Mohawk's No Blush Plus did not seem to help!
So...
I decided to let things dry and tackle the issue another day.
When I went back to the garage to bring everything back into the basement, the blushing was all but gone from the tops!
A little later, the tops do not show any blushing at all...

Whew! That's a relief!
The forecast is calling for rain...every day...for the coming week. I will eventually get back to work on these pieces, but I am going to wait until the weather clears up before doing any more work on the pieces.
The next move: Wet sanding, followed by more coats of clear. As the originals appeared to have several coats of clear, I am also going to apply several coats, wet sanding in between every 2-3 coats.
And, unless I am overruled by one of you cabinet experts, I probably will not apply more than 8-9 coats of clear.
