Cabinet repaint.

Yahoo Message Number: 112603
Getting ready to re-paint my interior oak cabinets and wondered what is the best material to use. Are they lacquered? Varnished? Shellacked ? I was going to use semi gloss marine spar varnish but thought there might be a problem with Lacquer... Help....

Steve,
From my background a varnish was used. Lacquer have a tendency to craze/crack. Also lacquers will dissolve easily with solvent but only dull and soften a varnish. Your choice of a spar varnish is about the best choice for the project.
Keep the windows open if your doing the recoat inside.
Getting my Magna ready for full timing. 6 new tires tomorrow. Have 5 new batteries, flat panel tvOS, tuned up the generator. Going thru all the systems. Have to wait 6 weeks for the new frig. Hope to get in a couple of shakedown trips this month.
Regards,
Steve, 95 Magna 5220

Steve, I'm about to buy tires for my 2000 Magna. What tires did you buy?

Charles did you have to remove the existing finish before applying the tung oil?

Before you go through all that work consider trying these products. Can be found at Home Depot and Lowes. 7 or 8 dollars a piece. It will take some elbow grease but I've done my cabinets and am well pleased. Like new!

That is what Matt Carr at Oregon Motor Coach told me to use. I am really impressed with the results.
