Great Job Indeed!! Beautiful refin work!! I will share a few tips I have used with success also without all the muss & fuss involved using slow drying finishes. I have saved several old vintage radio wood cabinets by carefully reglueing/clamping, stripping orig nitrocellous lacquer finishes using water based finish removers in several coats using steel wool. Followed by replacing missing veneers etc, sanding, and using Formbys Tung Oil in as many coats as necessary to match orig finish tones. Then, after drying overnight, applying several coats of fast drying automotive acrylic clear lacquer ( dries in minutes) between coats, add new decals if necessary before final clear coat. The spray cans of auto clear lacquers with "fan tip spray" such as made by "Dupli-Color" auto touch-up finishes, dries clear FAST!! Use only in well-ventilated areas with no-flames from pilot-lights from heaters, etc! Use a respirator over your nose & mouth! Follow directions on the spraycan label!! You can build up several fast drying clear lacquer finishes in 1 afternoon, without "pitting probs" associated with using all the old style finishes of nitro-based toning lacquers, etc, going on for several days with "humidity" probs, and all else trouble involved. AutoZone has these spraycans in stock. My most recent refins look as good as any of the Mohawk finishes I have tried in the past, with much less effort! I however dont mean to ever offend anyone of using different "true blue" methods!! Just sharing a method I have found that looks Awesome and works for me!! Acrylic clear finish lacquers dry Fast!! Without all the muss & fuss , and give the same "mirror finish" as the old nitrocell final finishes in my honest opinion. Saves money & time also!! My customers are all very satisfied with their restored radios refins!! Glossy,Glossy!! ol TR
