Kilz Primer

I primed the junky contact paper crap with the Kilz primer. Remember, primer is for surfaces that haven't been painted/stained. I did one coat, waited for it to dry (a couple hours so it was really dry). Then I sanded it with 320 grit, and vacuumed and used the tack cloth. Then I primed again.

Stinky stuff, wear a mask, open windows and doors.

I then Bondo'd (new word) any deep grain, or dings. I sanded that down with 120 then with 320 until it was smooth and flush.

Then I primed the front part of them, the part that you actually see with the Sherwood undercoater. Folks, this stuff is SO strong in smell. I about passed out. No lie. After I would do about 5 cabinets I would go outside and just breathe. I didn't have all of my windows open, just my kitchen window. But, man alive, this stuff smells so strong. I don't want to scare you away from this product. It us AMAZING! Just be aware that you need good ventilation.

The instructions say to use it with a sprayer, but there was no way I was going to spray that. So, I used my velour roller and rolled it on. I sanded with my flexible 3M 320 grit sanding paper. It left it so smooth. I couldn't believe how smooth it was. Vacuumed, tack clothed. As I did that, I took painter's tape along with me and marked any dings or deep grain that I previously didn't get. Then I bondo'd again, sanded it. Vacuumed and tack clothed. Then primed again. I did this 3 times total.

Oh, and in the meantime dehydrated two boxes of apples. But, whatever.
