1936 610 restoration
#9

Steve:

Thank you.. the main reason I didn't use the sanding sealer was due to the lack of originality.. but then again, I hit the really bad lower front area with a gel stain to bring it to the same color as the upper area. I did gasp at how dark the walnut grain filler made the sides.. I didn't have any natural to lighten up the color (they usually sell out within a day or two when they get grain filler in stock at the local store). Which sanding sealer do you recommend? tone finish or heavy bodied? I haven't used the mohawk sandiing sealers before. previous sanding sealer experience ended up in shrinking after a few years, losing that glass-smoothness. Ron, grain filler didn't seem as difficult as I thought it might be, really. but I followed the instruction of an old timer who insisted a good rubbing with a quality burlap was the key. The sides and top of the radio have now gone from rough to a nice smooth feel and I've yet to apply lacquer. today is the day I think.. finally going to be 70 and 35% or so humidity..

question... how long should I wait for the front to dry after the full frontal spray before I mask? I did pick up frog tape yesterday.. the green.. although my second guessing nature compelled me to pick up their yellow low-adhesion one.. but green it is..
