What is the best way to sand the cabinet surface when you have different orientations of the veneer intersecting each other. Top of my 370 pictured.

Also in one of PuhPow’s threads there was mention of the care in handling the cabinet (my 40-155) after the grain filler was rubbed out. Taking care not to get contaminants from your hands on the surface that might affect the quality of the finish. Let’s say "your friend" forgot to have gloves on when you (oops I mean he) handled the cabinet. So as to not to disturb the grain filler what would be the next step in cleaning to insure good adhesion when the toning lacquer is applied?

Thanks
Roy G
