AAMOF, I learned the following "poor painter's pyramid" about 2000 years
ago:
Scrap plywood "blocks", 2" x 2" square, with a 3" drywall screw through
the
middle of each.
The next progression:
For kitchen/bath cabinets, drill a small hole in the top or bottom
(depending on the location of the door) of the rail on the unseen
edge.
Put a tiny hook in the wood and hand it on a "clothesline" in your
shop. Finish on one end of the line, and then slide the wet door to
the other side out of line of fire to dry. Applying finish to both
sides at once, you cut your finishing time in half.
No one sees the tiny hole in the top of a 42" cabinet door when the
hook is removed, or the bottom of a regular full sized base cab door.
I don't even fill them.
Actually I considered using cut coat hanger wire to hang the doors from by
hooking them in the 35mm hole for the hinges but General Finishes Arm-R-Seal
goes on pretty think with a foam brush, 2 coats is typically all that is
needed. Hanging, I would have runs.
