Thanks Greg...
...unfortunately, spraying the next two coats of clear revealed that the drip spots were still showing.
In addition, it was really hot and very humid when I sprayed the second two coats, so the finish did not turn out well - it had a powdery appearance in some areas of the cabinet. Yes, I know - it was the result of spraying lacquer when the weather is too hot and humid. The lacquer was drying in areas before it hit the cabinet.
I wet sanded the cabinet again today, going down to 600 grit and getting a bit more aggressive with the drip spots. Fortunately I did not burn through the toner (knocking wood), and the spots look better/smoother than ever now. Whether they will (mostly) disappear after the next two coats remains to be seen. The entire cabinet has been smoothed out by the wet sanding, although I need to wet sand the sides some more. The top and front are ready for the next coats.
The weather is supposed to be a bit milder tomorrow with less humidity, so I guess I'll try it again. I'm hoping the cabinet turns out smoother this time.
