CABINETRY PREPARATION & REPAIR
Q. DO I HAVE TO STRIP, SAND, OR PRIME MY CABINETS AS PART OF THE
PREPARATION?
A. Stripping, sanding, or priming are not necessary with Cabinet Transformations™.
Simply use the Deglosser and scrub pads provided to prepare your cabinets prior to
applying the Bond Coat.
Q. PRIOR TO USING CABINET TRANSFORMATIONS™, HOW DO I REPAIR CRACKS OR
HOLES IN MY ORIGINAL CABINETRY?
A. Cracks, holes, nicks, and gouges can be filled with plastic wood filler. When the filler
dries, sand the area until it is even with the surrounding surface. Once repairs have
been made, follow the normal Cabinet Transformations™ application process.
Q. CAN I CHANGE OUT MY CABINET HARDWARE?
A. Yes, changing out cabinet knobs, pulls and handles is a great way to update and
continue your transformation. Be sure to purchase new hardware prior to starting the
Cabinet Transformations™ application process. Check to see if new or different holes
are needed. Fill all holes not needed with plastic wood filler. Allow to dry and sand
smooth to the surrounding areas. Once holes are filled, follow the normal
Cabinet Transformations™application process.
Q. DO I NEED TO REMOVE CABINET DOORS AND HARDWARE?
A. For the best results, removing cabinet doors and all cabinet hardware is
recommended. It will be easier to get a smooth finish when coating the doors while
they are lying flat.
Q. WHAT CAN I USE TO PROP UP MY CABINET DOORS DURING THE
APPLICATION PROCESS?
A. To make the process easier, drive two drywall screws into a 2X4. Set two of these on
your worktable to support each door and make the sides of your doors easier to coat.
