  • Watch Ron's easy to follow instructions on how to refinish a cabinet
    If the kitchen is the most-used room in the house, then you can probably say that the kitchen cabinet is the most-used thing in that room. With time and repeated cleanings, they can end up looking pretty shabby.

      My Grandparents house, RIP. The New Owners Took all the Glass Knobs Hardware off, replaced with cheap plated brass hardware. Then they Painted the Solid Maple Doors, my Grandfather Finished them himself around 1947, and refinished the Varnish over the years. The Varnish was as smooth as glass. There were no Stains Scratches or Chips in the Wood. Makes me sick what they did.

      I get paid good money to paint stained cabinets. Usually do a specialty finish over the paint. Looks way better in older homes with too much stained wood. I also do his style of finish also. Never do I use stain and poly.NEVER. It just looks really cheap. After using gell stain,I will spray poly over it.

      We are getting ready to remodel our kitchen and want to keep the wood cabinet faces out neighbor made 30+years ago. It doesn't appear that ours have been sealed at all. I'm thinking of just using re-store on them, than some wax made for them. I'll probably do it this way when we remodel our bathroom.

    I called a licensed painting contractor to get a quote on refurbishing some custom cabinets in our home and some wood flooring. 20 years earlier I had paid $5,000 to a licensed contractor to do the same. This time a salesperson came out who had no knowledge, took pictures with their macbook and then emailed a quote of $24,500.
    CZcams saved me with videos like this one. Especially helpful were Ron's suggestions on replacing the hardware with new hardware and not shaking the can but stirring instead to avoid air bubbles.
    Thanks, Ron!

  • @magicgordo4878
    @magicgordo4878 Před 2 lety +28

    The sequence of events is spot on. Two that are not used by most "flippers" are washing off with a solvent prior to sanding to remove if only some wax and cooking grease. The second is when painting multi layer doors including entry doors is to paint from the inside out saving the horizontals and then the vertical elements for last. The product used is an alkyd and a natural bristle brush is more suitable than a synthetic bristle. Natural bristle brushes should be considered needing pre washing and drying in paint thinner before any painting or clearcoating is done.Working out of paint cans is counterproductive. Transferring the "paint" to a container larger than the volume of paint allows one to see if the "paint" has been completely mixed with no traces of pigment, filler or flattning agents left in the can. A great 5:19 lesson from a pro.. Yep, we can tell...just by the way the sandpaper was folded.

    First time coming across this video in May of 2024!! I have searched many CZcams videos on how to update my kitchen cabinets doing the job myself. Mist of what is see on CZcams is painting over your wood cabinets. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s not what I was looking for. I want to keep the look of varnish wood but a little deeper color. Your video was perfect! Just what I was looking for! Thank you ❤🙏🏽 😊

  • @codypulley7682

    Usually when I look at a how to video on CZcams I have to look at several to get to what I need to know. I've been painting since I was 19 and I'm now 61. And this is a technique I have never done but I have to bid a job today. So thanks to you not only do I know what to do I know how to bid the job. Plus I don't have to look at for more videos to get her done. You got to love CZcams thank you for the good advice

    Another way to stir is with a bent wire coat hanger. Straight into a drill then bent at the bottom into a whisk form. It stirs the bottom into the body and doesn't introduce bubbles into the mix. You can stir fast or slow - your preference. By raising and lowering it, you blend the whole thing - or put bends into a length that fits the can and then blend the whole thing together.
    I use this to blend/mix my stains and paints.

    Wish I had seen this before I completely sanded my bathroom cabinets down to the clean white oak surface and refinished with stain and polyethylene.
    Also use caution when updating the hinges. I removed the old antique brass hinges and replaced with the same kind of oil rubbed bronze hinges. Even though they looked the same, they are different. The screw holes do not line up. I just screwed into another place on the door, but had to drill out the old holes on the cabinets and plug them with dowels before realigning and reinstalling the doors.

    • @Esther-ps3vx
      @Esther-ps3vx Před 2 lety

      I am going to use the same hinges and just clean them thoroughly. The old ones are made really well compared to the new ones. Also, why waste good hinges when I use reuse the old ones. Also, it will be easier just to put them back.

    The tip about folding abrasive paper into 3 is actually more useful than you would imagine, whether you tear your paper into halfs or quarters isn't the point,the point is you have 3 faces,6 edges and the folding it back on its self means it holds it self together, if just folded in half it just slips...as told to me by my tutor in college on the first day....40 years ago.

    One of the things I was really looking for was doing both sides. In my previous projects I have found that the stain/finish application always accumulates where you can't see it from the top until you turn it over. Then it's a chore to get rid of the excess and still make it look good. I'm guessing you rest the door on something smaller then the door to raise it so that you have access to that excess.

    • @speedviper47
      @speedviper47 Před 3 lety +13

      I've had that happen to me as well. What I found best is to place a gallon paint can, or something a bit taller, under the item so that as I do each edge I can gently wipe away any finish that may have run under the edge. I use a clean cloth dampened with mineral spirits. I use this same method when I]m staining or painting.

    Polyshades works quite well for this. However, you do have to apply it as thin as possible and look over your project carefully for sags on vertical edges. It tends to settle along these edges leaving a darker line. A high quality brush is very important.
