In reply to Kelly Kelley. What kind of paint did you use Kelly? What kind of primer did you use?

Help Jenny! I originally used the rustoleum product 6 years ago. Repainted this past weekend with a latex paint with primer satin finish. I have applied polycrylic twice and it’s still chipping. What should I do? Better top coat?

In reply to Cheryl Godlewski. I always clean and sand pieces that I'm working on. It just makes sense - your paint job is only as good as your prep work!

Hi! I have purchased Zinnsers BIN Shellac Primer to use on my pine bedroom furniture which has many knots. The can says no need to sand or de gloss which would be a wonderful time saver for my 2 nightstands, large dresser, armoire and headboard. Your thoughts??
I plan on using BM Advance for my paint. Thank you for help!

In reply to Nicole. You should be able to sand them and just touch them up with a brush.

We had our cabinets sprayed and some look beautiful and smooth, others have little drips or are rough. What is the best way to smooth these without ruining the finish? Do they need to be sanded and resprayed?

In reply to Laura Hanson. BIN Shellac is my go-to primer for just about any problem these days.

Will the peel stop paint work over latex paint? Our contractor used latex and should not have. Also, will KILZ work too?

I don’t think you can go wrong with shellac – it’s great stuff and I’m using it on just about everything these days!

I have cabinets that are peeling from a bad prep job. My local hardware store recommends shellac vs peel stop. They like peelstop for exterior peeling since you can’t use shellac but for cabinets they feel shellac works better. Thought?
