Cabinet TOUCHUPS! The Art of Touch-Ups
What happens here
For small nicks on a cabinet door, select a very fine artist's brush. Dip the brush into the lacquer, taking only a small amount. Gently dab the lacquer directly onto the nick, avoiding any brushing motion. Repeat this process for two to three coats, allowing sufficient drying time between each coat, typically around 5 minutes, to prevent pulling up the previous layer. Priming is not necessary for small nicks if the underlying surface is already coated with lacquer.
Goal: Conceal small nicks on surfaces using the dabbing technique.
