Any loose veneer is re-secured. We make sure any filler. Applied or repairs made are blended nicely and do not detract from the beauty. Of the set unless otherwise noted. New stains and sealers are applied by hand. We continue by using many coats of mohawk brand lacquers and toners applied in. The same manner as when the radio was originally finished in the factory. Use a nitrocellulose piano lacquer which is applied through a professional hvlp. Turbine spray system in a climate controlled room. We also apply very thin coats. This allows the lacquer to seep into. The grain and not cover it up. A fine grit wet sanding follows every third coat. Along with a polishing process and ending with an oz glaze rub. Work are put into the radios, but as you can see, the final outcome is a. Beautiful, natural looking cabinet with gorgeous luster& shine.
