I tried to feather in the spots where the lacquer thinner seeped through the tape with Extra Dark Walnut but it didn't look right. I plan on fully stripping the cabinet tonight. Even though it may not be needed I'll follow that up with grain filling. I'll hopefully be in a position to put down the first couple of clear coats this weekend. I ordered some of the fan nozzle tips and will wait until they come in before spraying any toner. I did not really like the ones that come standard from Mohawk.
I won't be posting anymore photos until all the toners have been reapplied.
