Lacquer and grain filler sources
#5

Bob, what I use is the Ultra Classic Toner for coloring. How much you put on depends on the color you want. The more coats, the darker.
For the clear lacquer, I use the Ultra Flo Clear Lacquer, and you may have to contact them for this-I don't know that it is on their website, but they do have it. How much you put on depends on what you want to achieve.
After I put on all toner and stain and I'm happy with the color, I do 3 coats of clear. First a mist coat, then a medium coat, followed by a wet coat. I then sand that down after it sits for a week with 400 wet or dry (wet) and then clean the cabinet and do 3 final coats, just like before. This gets rid of any kind of orange peel or imperfection, and gives me a finish as smooth as glass.
