Yesterday, I masked off the 41-246 cabinet and sprayed black lacquer on the top and bottom trim. Later, added a couple coats of clear Deft.
Today, I wet sanded the cabinet with 400 grit wet/dry paper, then sprayed two more coats of clear gloss Deft.
This may be as far as I go for now - I just discovered my decals are packed away somewhere. So this one may get finished after we move, weather permitting, or it may not get finished until next Spring. We shall see. The same goes for the 39-330AT cabinet.
I'll provide a photo or two of the 41-246 cabinet later.
Tom, take it easy and don't overdo - you want that knee to get better!
