Which Mohawk toner - Tone Finish or Ultra Classic?
#5

Ron
OK
I have been trying to finish two radio cabinets and I ran out of some colors.
Made an order for Mohawk and ended up with opaque toners. Of course I wanted transparent toners Hense the post about toners.

Yes Ive been using some earlier cans of perfect brown that are transparent and not being able to match up different areas of wood.

Perfect brown is a little too red for this Crosley.

Radios:  Philco 45 and   Crosley 645   6volt unit. I think.

So if medium brown walnut is lighter than perfect brown I will skip the medium brown.
I am looking for one a little darker than perfect brown? same tone.
And one that is not quite so red as perfect brown.
All transparent.

Oh and I am trying out their Heavy bodied sanding sealer to try it as  grain filler.

Hope Fred doesn't mind butting in on his post. Maybe I should start one of my own.

Thanks
Chris
