PRODUCT APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

After removing all of the cabinet doors, drawers and

hardware –proceed with a thorough cleaning of all surfaces

with the included Krud Kutter Cleaner/Degreaser. Rinse or

wipe away any loose dirt or dust. Apply a liberal amount of

the included cleaner/degreaser to the surfaces with a lint-

free rag. Allow to sit and penetrate 3-5 minutes before

wiping dry with the rag (do not allow Krud Kutter to dry on

the surface before wiping).

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)

SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)

IMPORTANT: Thoroughly inspect the cabinet surfaces for

heavy grease or dirt. Pay special attention to areas around

the stove, microwave and sink. Clean these extra dirty or

greasy areas with soapy water and wipe clean prior to

cleaning with Krud Kutter.

Before coating all of the cabinet surfaces –bond coat

application should be tested for proper adhesion. On a

cleaned, 3” x 3” inconspicuous area of the project –apply

bond coat. Allow to dry for 2 hours. Take a utility knife and

make an X in the coating down to the cabinet surface. Apply

your painter’s tape over the X and press firmly. Remove the

tape with one quick pull. If more than 10% of the coating

comes off, the cabinet surfaces may have a wax finish and

will need to be scuffed for lightly sanded to remove the wax

prior to complete application of the bond coat. Remove any

debris left from sanding/scuffing prior to bond coat

application.

IMPORTANT: Failure to follow this preparation method may

result in poor adhesion and possible coating failure.

APPLICATION OF BOND COAT

IMPORTANT: Apply when air (ambient) temperature is 50-

90°F (10-32°C) and relative humidity is below 60%.

The bond coat is specially formulated to provide maximum

adhesion to wood, laminate and Melamine surfaces. For the

White Base and Dark Base –1 coat may offer full coverage –

in some cases a light second coat will be needed –especially

when covering high contrast surfaces. For the Bold Color

Bases –2 full coats are required for full coverage.

Before applying the bond coat, wipe all frames doors and

drawers with a dry, lint-free rag to remove any dirt or dust

residue left on the surface. Tape off all edges and areas that

you wish to keep free of paint –i.e. the inside edges of

cabinet frames, the walls, counters and backsplashes.

Thoroughly stir the bond coat and pour into a disposable

tray/container. Starting with the cabinet frames, to apply an

even coat of bond coat –using a 2” brush for detailed areas

and a ¼” nap roller for the broad, open areas. To ensure the

best look, use up and down brush strokes on stiles and

frame sides. Use side-to-side strokes on the rails. Once the

first coat is completely dry (approximately 2 hours), apply a

second coat if needed.

For easier application purposes, use a prop to elevate the

door off the worktable. Begin with the BACK SIDE of each

door. Use a 2” brush for detailed areas and a ¼” nap roller

for the broad, open areas. Look for excess bond coat in

corners and crevasses and use the paint brush to remove

build up. Let dry for 2 hours. After first coat is dry, using the

same method, apply a second coat is needed.
