What kind of clear coat do you all think will be most appropriate, satin or semi-gloss? I’m leaning toward semi-gloss. I’d like to put a couple of coats on the cabinet before the decals or any grain filler. That way, if I need to do any fine sanding to smooth the grain filler I’m not eroding the finish.
