Now this is where the toner goes! A-ha!

Stop doing that! Beer is cheaper. And less toxic.

I think this is an automated translator at work.

Basically it means, I have (how) two-way radio, radios are fun but expensive and I got no cash. I am one sad panda.

That looks nice!

Ok toning the rest today.

Tomorrow I will add some clear, then add the decal and clear the rest.

Then it is 2 weeks of curing before I can sand and sand and sand, then rottenstone and rub out the finish.

Now to wait 2 weeks to buff everything out.

Kirk, you ruined it...you used the wrong decal! Icon_thumbdown

You should have used DCL-PH8. This is the proper decal for all 1932-1936 and some early 1937 Philco cabinets.

Yes I wanted to say...it is a smaller decal that should be used.

Well,
