OK Gary, and anyone else watching,
I unscrewed the tops tonight and removed the wax paper. The wax paper stuck to one of the tops in places; otherwise it turned out pretty well, I guess.
As one top is somewhat warped while the other basically is not, I screwed the top that has more warpage back onto the cabinet to hold it flat until I am ready to sand and stain. I left the other top loose (not screwed in place).
Gary, here's a good one for you:
I wasn't paying close enough attention yesterday, and have discovered (of course now that the trim is nailed and glued to the new tops) that on one top, the trim in front is slightly less wide (height) than the trim on the sides. The difference is roughly 3/64", not a lot, but definitely noticeable. So my lattice molding was not consistent in width, it turns out. Any ideas for fixing that problem? Just attacking those two pieces of side trim with sandpaper until they match the height of the front molding?
