Which toning laquer to use
#7

Spraying more coats to darken will use up your toner fast. I actually did not multi tone the tall 37-640 cabinet. those are the natural veneers but it would work the same way. You can coat the whole cabinet with perfect brown or medium walnut but again it will waste toner. I would tape off the parts you want lighter and then add the darker toner. then do the opposite and tape off the dark areas and tone the lighter shades. Tape and newspaper or craft paper work well.

Add the toner very lightly at first holding the can a foot away. very important so you don't get little dark round spots or fish eyes as they are called. (I have been getting them due to contamination and it stinks). If you just lightly sand them with #0000 steel wool. If you have to sand down to the bare wood you should strip it with lacquer thinner and start over. So a couple of light coats then you can add regular coats using a constant spray. make sure to start spraying away from the cabinet and then spray past the cabinet never stopping the flow. (this is because the can can spit when you first start spraying) go back and forth until you have fully coated the cabinet. then wait about 10 minutes or so and re coat. You can even very lightly sand between coats if you want it really smooth They say to wait until the finish is tacky but you would have to touch the cabinet for that. When you are satisfied wait a day and then tape off the opposite and follow the same directions.

It may sound hard and you will probably waste a can or 2 before getting it right like I did but you will get it. get some extra cans! Then go over it with clear lacquer a few times sanding lightly between coats. You can go to http://www.woodshopproducts.com/default.asp and buy the mohawk products which are cheaper than the mohawk site and they are on sale right now. Shipping is crazy so order more than you need just in case. Go pick tone finish toners and here is a list of the walnuts.

M101-0205 TONE FINISH TONER MEDIUM WALNUT

M101-0206 TONE FINISH TONER LIGHT WALNUT

M101-0207 TONE FINISH TONER MEDIUM BROWN AMERICAN WALNUT

M101-0209 TONE FINISH TONER EXTRA DARK WALNUT

And then there is

M101-0249 TONE FINISH TONER PERFECT BROWN

Ask anything and post some pics during the restoration. We love pics, or I do Icon_thumbup
