| Prepare Face Frames and End Panels for Self-Adhesive Covering |
•
Remove your
old doors by removing the screws from the hinges (F.3). If you plan to use
the old hinges, keep hinges and screws together in a convenient
location.
•
Remove drawers from the
cabinets and set aside. We’ll be replacing the drawer fronts in Step
3.
•
Next, remove any cabinet
mouldings (F.4). You should be able to pull it up easily using the tip of
a flathead screw driver.
•
Remove any loose and/or
peeling coatings from any surface you plan to cover with self-adhesive covering
(SAC). Any depressions left in the surface should be filled with wood putty
and sanded smooth.
•
Lightly sand any surfaces
you plan to cover with self-adhesive coverings, using 150 grit sandpaper
(F.5). DO NOT USE A POWER SANDER. Just scuff the surface. This will ensure
a good bond when applying self-adhesive covering.
•
Clean the surface with a
mild dishwashing liquid and water. DO NOT WET-SOAK, especially if the wood
surface is exposed. Rinse with a damp rag and allow to dry thoroughly. Use
household ammonia to remove wax. Read the manufacturer’s warning
and instructions before using.
• Remove any dust or
sanding particles with tack cloth before applying self-adhesive
coverings.
• If you plan to use
a door design to cover end panels, apply them after self-adhesive covering
has been applied to face frame.
Caution: Self-adhesive coverings are designed to adhere to a finished surface. They will not bond to raw wood.
