Jeyurkon,

Glad you like the finish. In the past I have been rebuked for using a glossy lacquer or even touching the finish. But sometimes a cabinet is just too bad to leave "as is". And why would anyone put in a lot of work making a set work great and look like crap.

I like to use acrylic lacquer because it drys fast and is very very durable over the long haul. And by wetsanding so the surface is very flat, without orange peel, and then the steel wool and compounding, you get a factory like finish that does not shine like the surface of a car but like a nice dining room table in a furniture store.


Bob
