[Heathkit] SB cabinet repaint question?

[Edward B Richards]

Hi Dan;

I put it on rather heavy with a brush and then stipple it with a stencil
brush.  This covers the brush marks and gives it a rough finish. I have
done several whole cabinets this way. Looks good. Can hardly tell where
the smooth areas were. Good luck.
