Philco 40-180 Cabinet Restoration
#4

Good Sunday Morning All!

Couple of questions when it comes to getting the supplies I need. I've already got the veneer for my patching job, but looking for some recommendations on the other stuff:

1. Who is your preferred supplier/suppliers or store for the Mohawk toners, laquers, etc?
2. Who is your preferred supplier/suppliers or store for Timbermate wood filler?

I like to shop local when I can, but not aware of any stores around here that carry this stuff (I know my local hardware store does not). Just curious who you guys like to use for your supplies.

Also, how much toner and clear lacquer should I plan to buy for this restoration? I wasn't sure how many cans I need for the typical floor cabinet.

Hoping for a stretch 65+ degree dry weather soon so that I can get this project on a roll. However, I do live in southeast Indiana, so April can bring anything from tornadoes to snow, but I am hopeful!
