Finishing Purebond Maple Plywood

[USMCGRUNT]

Hello all,

I am finishing up a miter station that has (8) cabinets, (23) drawers, table tops, and a few other odds and ends. I am going to spray finish them with General Finishes Enduro Clear Poly. I am using 3/4" Purebond cabinet grade Maple plywood.

Since these are shop cabinets, I am trying to take the fastest way possible for finishing them.

I would normally raise the grain with a hardwood project, sand, then finish them.

Can I get away with not sanding the Purebond plywood before I spray them with the Clear Poly? Or will the grain be raised too much?

Thanks!

I do not raise the grain on plywood.

180 sand to clean up any flaws, shoot, sand, shoot, sand, shoot.

Ditto Tom's sequence...been finishing since 1971 with exactly the same process.
