I will have to get a new resistor I guess.

I finally had a beautiful day to work on the cabinets.
I got everything ready, set up, and got to working on the 7 cabinets.

Then 3 cabinets in I realized! I am out of medium Walnut and Perfect Brown toner.....Icon_thumbdownIcon_thumbdown

All I have is 2 black, 1 Ex dk walnut, 3 gloss, 1 semi, and 2 light walnut.

I am soooo frustrated that I did not check this before hand. I had enough walnut and perfect brown to do 3 cabinets but I think I need to add more to one. What a waste of a perfect toning day!

I got the Ex DK Walnut on the trim of the 38 and the Med Walnut on the PT.
