Pro tip: Always test your finish on scrap wood before bathroom cabinet projects
I skipped this once and the steam made the coating bubble up! Do a test patch to avoid a redo.

Bathrooms are the worst for that. I started leaving test pieces in the actual room overnight to see how they handle the humidity swings. Saves a lot of grief later.

How many times have I ruined a finish by not checking the humidity? @willow_robinson, your overnight test trick is genius. I once painted a cabinet without testing and it bubbled up like bad pizza dough. Now I feel silly for not trying something so simple earlier. This is why I always read your tips.
