I just finished 20 drawers and 6 pullouts for a project. As I was doing that I was thinking my finish routine could not be in line with what others are doing because it takes too long. That got me thinking to pose the question here. This project used cherry for the drawer parts. My finish was to sand to 120 - 180, sanding sealer, scuff sand, and then two coats of enduro clear. I do have a hood in my spray booth with a 16" fan, but it is not explosion proof so I do not spray anything but water based. I have asked my finish supplier about the GF eduro conversion varnish a few times and he has consistently advised against that in a home shop setup due to the off gassing. I am curious what others use a finish plan for items that are not really exposed, but need a finish for durability. Also, how much time for an average drawer would you allow for a finishing (sanding, spray...)?
Thanks
