Mohawk finishing products for Philco 47-1230
#12

Icon_biggrin of course Chuck. Been wanting to have "finished" pictures of my radio for quite some time now. How long have I been working on that beast? a year?

seasonal daylight and weather already starts to be a problem. back from work in pitch black & snow threats already.
Tonight I want to do some tests with my "new" veneer & the mohawk (for coloration matching), but I hope the week-end's weather will prove cooperative in me making at least the toner.

Questions

1- How long should I have the grain filling set before I can toner?

2- How long should I let toner sets before next layers? (how many layers should I do?)

3- Do I need to wait longer when I change toner color before I spray the contrasting colour?

4- how long do I need to wait after toner before I spray lacquer?

I wouldn't want to cause issues, but it is my first time working with toner. I have experience with spray paint, just not toner.

I plan on final grain filling (still a section to do) on saturday morning, applying the missing veneer not long after, and hope to begin toner saturday afternoon. Can I assume I can be all done this week-end?
