FStephenMasek's Philco 112 cabinet restoration
#8

Grain filling is always an important day, as the next step is the first coat of clear lacquer, hopefully later this week after allowing the filler to dry. After staining, allowing the stain to dry for few days , then applying clear lacquer sanding sealer, I used Behlen oil-type grain filler, applied with a wad of burlap, and cleaned-off with pieces of burlap. Of course, it now looks dull, but that is normal. After the grain filler had dried a while, I did a quick light wipe with more stain to get rid of excess grain filler and help make sure the color is even. The Sentinel 104 got the same treatment.
