Thanks for the tip! I just sprayed the 3 coats of clear last night and I'm using Deft rattle cans. I was going to sand tonight but I might wait a day or two based on your feedback. I'm starting to run up against the weather though. Even though I'm in Southern CA my garage can drop down below 65F when I spray at night and everything I've read says not to spray below that temperature. After I let the cabinet dry for an hour last night in the garage I brought it inside.
Just checked Weather.com and it looks like I may be OK for the next 10 days.
After I apply the final coats and everything is leveled I had planned on letting the cabinet cure for a month before doing the final rubout.
