CABINET TOUCH-UP PROCEDURE
Vinyl gaskets are used on all models. Lacquer repairs
can be made on all areas of the cabinet except any
painted surface that comes in contact with the vinyl
gasket. Since prolonged contact of vinyl gaskets with
lacquer will soften the lacquer, repairs in these areas
should not be attempted.

Lacquer Refinishing

The following steps to touch-up or refinish a acrylic
painted cabinet, except in gasket contact areas.
1. Sand out spot to be repaired with 360 or 400 wet-or-
dry sandpaper. Finish sanding to feather edge with
600 wet-or-dry sandpaper. Wipe area dry. Hand rub
with fine rubbing compound (Dupont VZ1090
equivalent), the area extending at least six inches
beyond edges of lacquer repair spot. Wipe com-
pound off and wash area with Naphtha. Dry with
clean cloth.
2. Prepare bare metal with Sol-Kleen
rust remover. Reduce cleaner with two parts
water, and apply with a clean wet rag. Do not
touch painted surface with this cleaner. Stubborn or
deep seated rust can be removed by applying
cleaner with steel wool.
NOTE: Prepare surface of bare metal with
®
Sol-Kleen regardless if rust is present.
3. Before cleaner dries, wipe surface dry with clean
rag.
4. Wipe over surface thoroughly second time with
solution of 50-50 alcohol and water. Wipe again
with clean dry rags, preferably new cheesecloth.
5. Allow to dry for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
6. Apply primer surfacer, reduced by approximately
equal parts of lacquer thinner, to build bare metal
area up to surrounding surface. Any imperfections
which primer has not filled should be knifed out with
lacquer type putty glaze.
7. If no putty glaze is used, allow to dry about 30
minutes and, if necessary, sand out lightly with 360
wet-or-dry sandpaper. If putty glaze is used, allow
about three hours before sanding with sandpaper
and water. Remove sanding residue thoroughly by
wiping with clean rag soaked in naphtha. Wiping
surface with tack rag will remove dust and lint.
8. Finish repair with two or more coats of lacquer
(reduce approximately one part of lacquer to 1½
parts of thinner). Finally, apply mist coat of
lacquer thinner to flow out surface.
9. Patched area should be allowed to dry three or more
hours before rubbing with compound or polish.
This procedure also applies to the complete refinishing
of the cabinet, except gasket contact areas. All
damaged areas should be repaired as outlined in steps
1 through 6 above. The overall surface of the cabinet
should be sanded thoroughly and cleaned as outlined in
step 7.
The cabinet should be given two or more coats of touch-
up lacquer and polished as outlined in steps 8 and 9.
