I'm nearly finished with an entertainment center that has been a work in progress for about 3 months. The finish schedule so far has been a coat of boiled linseed oil cut 50% with mineral spirits. Let dry for a week then a 2# coat of seal coat. This was followed by 4 coats (sprayed) of ML Campbell Agualente water borne satin lacquer. I'm waiting for the lacquer finish to harden but then want to rub out the finish to a satin gloss. My thoughts are to wet sand with 1200 grit wet/dry paper on a sanding block to flatten the finish and then wet sand (soapy water for a lubricant) with an Abralon 2000 grit disk on a random orbit sander to complete the rub out. Has anyone had any experience with the Abralon products? If so, would you recommend using Abralon in a lower grit (say 1200) instead of the 1200 wet/dry paper? Is my thinking on this all wrong. Any suggestions based on experience with the Mirka Abralon product would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, ML Campbell tech support suggested waiting 48 hours minimum prior to rubbing out but I will probably wait at least a week.
