I'm finishing a cabinet using Mohawk toner and have run into a problem. The can spit out drops on one of the sides while I was spraying. In a panic I wrapped a cloth on my finger and put some lacquer thinner on it to rub out the dots. The dots came out but now I can't get the toner to blend in evenly now that there are lighter spots from where the dots were.

What can I do about this?

Also, the toner adhered to the top of the cabinet a little rough and cloudy, almost like there was something in the air today. I rubbed it down lightly with some 0000 steel wool before applying any more coats and it smoothed out nicely. Can I use this method after the last coat of toner prior to moving on to the lacquer stage or is there something better I can do?

My first cabinet = learning curve........

Thanks//Rob
