Philco 38-62 cabinet restoration
#37

Dang it! I sprayed on what I thought would be the final coat last night when a stray eyelash landed in the wet lacquer Icon_sad
On the positive side, I'm now a firm believer in spraying lacquer when the weather is cool (upper 50s/low 60s) rather than hot. The lacquer flows out much better and I'm getter very little orange peel.

I waited until it was 80F+ in the past before spraying and had much more orange peel. I'm sure the lacquer was curing before it had a chance to flow out properly. So from now on, maybe spring and fall will be for refinishing rather than summer.
