STEP #2 – APPLY BOND COAT
The Bond Coat is specially formulated to provide maximum adhesion to wood, laminate,
and melamine surfaces. Two coats of Bond Coat are recommended.
Start with Cabinet Frames:
A. Before applying the Bond Coat, wipe all frames, doors, and drawers with a dry, lint-
free cloth to remove any dirt or residue left on the surface.
B. Tape the inside edges of each cabinet frame with smooth painter’s tape. Be sure all
edges are pressed down to ensure that none of the coating will be able to bleed
through.
C. Thoroughly stir the Bond Coat using a stir stick and pour a portion into a clean,
disposable container. Starting with the cabinet frames, use a 2” angled or straight
synthetic brush to apply an even coat of
Bond Coat.
D. To ensure best look, use-up-and down
brush strokes on stiles and frame sides.
Use side-to-side brush strokes on the rails
(see diagram to right). Once the first coat
is completely dry (approximately 2 - 3 hrs.),
apply a second coat.

Avoid drips, apply in even coats.
Drips may be cleaned up
with water.
IMPORTANT: You will have enough Bond Coat to cover the outer cabinet frame,
each drawer front, and the front and back of each door with two coats. There is not
enough to coat the insides of the cabinets or shelves.
