Here's a look at my 19B front panel.

This is after two applications of CrystaLac, sanding, application of lacquer sanding sealer, sanding, then two more applications of CrystaLac (sanding in between coats), followed by scraping the surface.

A closer look:

Slick! See, it does not matter that CrystaLac is clear - the grain lines are dark anyway.

Later today I will begin to apply lacquer to this panel. I'll also start preparing the main body of the 19B cabinet for grain fill. I think I'll use more CrystaLac on the front of the cabinet body, and one of the other products on the top/sides.
