Model 70 refinish
#1

Hello to all. I recently posted a problem with the veneer on this radio which I finally corrected and now am back for some more info. This radio has mahogany sides that have been sanded down to the bare wood. I understand the correct way to redo the finish is to use toner laquer, but being somewhat a novice using toner laquer, I wanted some tips as to how to proceed. I assume the toner goes over a clear coat of laquer. Is this right? Also, is there any surface prep to the wood before using the laquer? Is it ok to use stains or not? I understand they aren't original to this radio. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
