Cabinet TOUCHUPS! The Art of Touch-Ups

What happens here

For larger areas, such as the backside or edges of a cabinet door, where a perfectly smooth, sprayed finish isn't as critical, a wider China bristle brush can be used. Dip the brush into the lacquer, ensuring it's adequately loaded. Apply the lacquer evenly across the surface. While this method may leave slight brush marks (sometimes referred to as 'roping'), it is often acceptable for less visible areas and allows for quicker coverage than dabbing. This technique demonstrates the versatility of choosing the 'right brush for the right job' based on the visibility and size of the area being touched up.

Goal: Apply lacquer to larger or less visible areas of a cabinet door.
