I was planning on using the grain filler later tonight. Another option I was thinking of was to purchase some brushable sanding sealer at lunch and use a very small artist brush to drip some of it into the remaining areas where the grain is still showing and then sand it down to the same level as the rest of the cabinet (which again, is still covered with sanding sealer).
Of the two options I'm thinking of, which sounds like the best approach?
I'm not going for the piano finish look. Once all the lacquers have been applied I plan on starting with #0000 steel wool, see how it looks, then maybe 2F pumice, see how it looks, and then maybe 4F pumice. I'm looking for a deep looking finsh, but not so shiney that it looks like a glazed doughnut.
