Sanding

Always remove grease before sanding kitchen cabinets

When updating kitchen cabinet handles and pulls there are often impressions (dents) left from the old handles 

If the diameter of the new handle or pull is smaller than the new ones, you may see old marks from the old handles. 

Some people use degreasers and work work work and they really never do remove the crud. 

We do it the easy way. Some humour in this as well.

Even though cabinets feel smooth after priming, they should still be lightly sanded between coats. Sanding or scuffing between coats will improve bonding.

This video briefly shows how we lightly sand the primer coat prior to finish coating.

When a surface is clean and sanded properly, primer bonds and penetrates deeper.  When primer bonds and penetrates deeper, this improves the look, durability and feel of refinished cabinets. This is how we paint kitchen cabinets to look new again.
