Day 3 Progress 🔥
Major transformation day on this thermofoil cabinet restoration project.
After extensive surface preparation and restoration work, we completed the priming, sanding, and finishing stages on both the cabinet structure and doors.
✅ Two full coats of premium shellac-based primer applied throughout the entire kitchen using Zinsser BIN Shellac Primer
✅ Fast-drying shellac system allowed proper sealing of exposed MDF and previously damaged thermofoil surfaces
✅ Full primer sanding process completed using fine 400-grit sanding for an ultra-smooth surface preparation
✅ Two finish coats applied on all cabinet frames and structure
✅ Three finish coats applied on all cabinet doors for maximum uniformity, coverage, and durability
✅ Detailed sanding between stages to ensure a smooth factory-style finish
To maintain a clean and controlled environment during the refinishing process, the project is being completed using professional extraction equipment, including air scrubbers, ventilation systems, and drying lamps to improve airflow, reduce odor, and optimize curing conditions throughout the project. ✨
