Mainly 180. I used some 150 but ran out. I was dry sanding and was having problems with the paper clogging. Should I use mineral spirits for wet sanding?

Last night I started sanding the shellac. I hand sanded with a backer block. It took forever to get down to where the shellac was only left in the grain. It does fill a lot better but the...

I have a problem with a couple of cabinet doors I made. When I do a dry assembly of the doors and lay them on a flat surface, the assembly does not lay flat. If I hold the hinge side flat on...

The only place it was glued was on the small corner brace at the top inside of each corner. The rest of the face frame was stapled on from the back side at an angle.

I agree that a whole new...

Don't mind at all Dave.

The finish on your cabinets looks very similar to the finish on the cabinets in our house. Since this is my first attempt at refacing cabinets, I started with a bathroom...

Thanks for the replys.

I removed the face frame and have started making the new face frame. The face frame was attached with staples shot in at an angle from the back side so it came off...
