What happens here

Begin by setting up your work area, preferably within a spray booth or a well-ventilated space, with an inspection light positioned to cast light across the surface of the cabinet doors. Use a stable table for working. Thoroughly inspect each cabinet door for any existing imperfections such as ripples, surface tension, or 'eggshell' texture left from previous lacquer or sprayed coatings. These imperfections, often invisible under normal lighting, become apparent under the inspection light.

Goal: Set up a dedicated workspace with an inspection light and a stable table. Carefully examine cabinet doors and furniture under the inspection light to identify existing imperfections, surface tension, and 'eggshell' texture from previous coatings.
