Weekend Kitchen Renovation Part 02

Sand and clean

The very first step would be to completely degloss the actual laminate surface while using sanding tools contained in the kit (Picture below). You are able to save upon sanding time by utilizing an orbital sander along with 60- or even 80-grit sandpaper about the flat places (however you'll include cleaning period vacuuming in the dust). Make use of a light touch which means you don't fine sand through any kind of areas or even create unequal surfaces. Vacuum in the dust as well as wipe just about all surfaces having a damp fabric until they are completely dust-free. Make use of painter's mp3 and plastic material to cover up off bottom cabinets, the actual sink, home appliances, the wall space above the actual backsplash and also the floor. Include the kitchen sink drains therefore nothing drops into all of them.


ROUGH IN THE SURFACE: Degloss the actual countertop using the diamond-embedded sanding mat in capital t he kit therefore the base layer will stay with lt. You'll understand It's deglossed when you will find tiny scrapes everywhere.

Apply the bottom coat

This task is time-sensitive, so before you decide to apply the bottom coat, have the actual decorative chips within the dispenser and all set. Once you have applied the bottom coat, you'll have a 20-minute window to use the ornamental chips prior to it dries. For those who have a lengthy countertop or even several counter top areas, work within pairs (Photo2) as well as complete 1 section (such as the chip software) prior to moving to the next.

Apply the bottom coat thickly utilizing a brush about the backsplash along with a microfiber roller (not contained in the kit) upon

the flat working surface and entrance edge. You will need to lay this on heavily and equally, and preserve a moist edge about the entire surface for top result. The kit features a wetting agent you are able to spray onto keep the bottom coat damp and ready for that decorative potato chips.


This coat may be the background color along with a sticky bed for that chips. Anyone brushes It about the backsplash; another rolls about the rest. Function fast; you possess 20 minutes to accomplish this and the next phase.
