Philco 640 Cabinet Refinishing Chronicles

I think it will. The last part of the process is rubbing out the finish. Since I'm going to strip it anyway I used the opportunity last night to practice different techniques. Different grit papers, steel wool, rubbing compounds, etc.. I don't want to say that it will be smooth sailing from here on out but at least I have a better grip on the refinishing process than when I started. It's starting to be a race with the weather too. Where I live in Southern CA to daily high is predicted to be in the low 70's for the next 6 days so I need to get moving before it gets too cold to spray. Humidity is not an issue. Stay tuned.
