   Hey Dave,

   I have been using prefinished maple plywood on the insides of my kitchen cabinets for a few years now.  At first what I did was tape off the bottom edge where the carcass meets the face frame, then cut a piece of cardboard to fit in behind the face frame. I now pre-finish my face frames and install them to the carcass. The pre-finishing works great except where the cabinet has a finished end panel, I still mask those off.

   Good luck,

   John

   I may have to give it a try.  My process is to completely assemble a cabinet (hinges, hardware, doors, drawers, etc) then disassemble it for final sanding and finishing.  The majority of my finishes are sprayed and it's no big deal to spray everything, but if prefinished carcasses can save me a little time.................. - lol
