Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2018 Season
#42

Well, I thought I was...

As I said in the RCA 6T2 thread, this was not a good afternoon.

I applied the PHILCO decal and then applied the first couple coats of clear lacquer.

All seemed well.

I decided to start putting things away.

As it turns out, I moved the 66B too soon, nearly dropped it, and in trying to recover I managed to get a nice thumbprint in the top.

That was it for the day, and probably the week.

If you don't look at the top of the cabinet, it doesn't look too bad.

After calming down and looking at it some more, I am now hoping that I can correct the flaw with some careful wet sanding - and by spraying some Medium Walnut into a lacquer can lid and applying it to the bare spots with a brush.

But that will likely wait until next weekend.
