STEP 1
Clean Begin the cabinet preparation by cleaning the cabinets with the Krud Kutter cleaner as described in the instruction manual included in the Cabinet Transformations Kit. |
 |
STEP 2
Apply the Bond Coat As outlined in the kit’s instruction manual, use a 2” angled or straight synthetic paintbrush and/or roller to apply the Bond Coat to the cabinet doors. For wood cabinet doors, be sure to follow the grain. Start with all four inside corners and sides. Next, paint the center panel with long, smooth vertical strokes. For the top and bottom portions, use horizontal strokes. Once the first coat is completely dry (approximately 2-3 hours) apply a second coat. |
 |
STEP 3
Apply the Glaze Apply the Glaze to the cabinet doors in long strokes until all the glaze is used in the brush. Repeat this step again until the entire door is covered. You can keep the brush strokes in one direction or for a more varied look alternate them from side to side. |
 |
STEP 4
Remove the Glaze Using a clean synthetic paint brush, hold the brush firmly then start flogging upward, working from the bottom to the top. Slap the brush’s bristles against the cabinet in short, overlapping movements. Wipe excess glaze off the brush often. After each side has been flogged, turn the brush around and fill in the gap at the bottom with short strokes. Flog each area with the direction of the grain of the wood.

| Color Tip: To simulate a specific wood, such as oak or cherry, look at a piece of real wood to determine the lightest color you see in the wood. Use this color as the guide to selecting the bond coat colors. In this example we were simulating oak and used the color Biscotti as our bond coat color. |
