Thanks for the suggestion, Ron. You learn something new everyday, right? Icon_thumbup
Is there a particular brand you recommend, and you did say it is in a spray can?
How many coats of Medium Walnut did you put down?
I will have to try that on the next refinish job. But we are getting into winter now, so it will be next Spring before I think the weather will be warm enough.
Yours does indeed look nice, Ron! Icon_thumbup And thanks for the compliment! I am pleased with how it turned out. It's far better than my 1st, the 620B, which had no grain filler, and I used stain and poly! Icon_redface Now that I know better, I am seriously considering redoing that cabinet if I have time next Spring/Summer. Icon_biggrin
