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.
