Thanks for the tips Puh-Pow. This is my first cabinet refinish and I've still got a lot to learn. I've already mentally prepared for the Extra Dark Walnut to run. I just really hope it doesn't. Maybe I'll lay the cabinet on its side and do the side that is facing up. Let it dry and then rotate to the other side, let it dry and then finally stand it up and do the top. Then lay it on its back and get the columns.
