Ron's Cabinet Work for the 2018 Season
#51

Success. I think.

I wet sanded the blemished area with a scrap piece of 1000 grit paper; I think I made the best possible choice of paper to do this blemish repair.

Then I sprayed some Mohawk Medium Walnut into the lid of the can and, using a small brush, went over the bare spots a couple times. I think I have the color matched up pretty well.

A closer look:

I had an LED shop light directly over the cabinet, so the spots look a little lighter in the photo than they actually are.

I think now, with subsequent coats of clear lacquer and careful wet sanding, that I will be able to blend this repair in to the point that it will hardly be noticeable. Icon_thumbup
