Door frames and pine kitchen cabinet doors scratched
Comments (7)Why not use stain? Just get a color that is close, rub it over the door, wipe off excess then apply two coats of poly. For the scratches, sometimes you can rub a similar colored stain over the scratches and they may go away. However, if the scratches are too deep, the stain may turn them into black lines. If that happens, you can only sand them out and re-stain....See MorePlease help!!!! Advice on 1/4 gap/reveal btwn Kitchen Cabinet doors
Comments (11)Hi yes - thank you for the response. Actually, ~50% of the cabinets are brand new custom cabinets. The whole reason I ordered the customs was so that I could get the spacing even, or at least somewhat even. I was told that going with all new semi-custom was not allowed. The Home Depot rep's exact words were "I can't let you do that, you have already paid the deposit". I said I didn't understand because the order hadn't been placed yet, he told me I could change my mind on anything before the order was placed and that I would buy them from Home Depot. He said "Sorry, Home Depot will penalize you a lot of money". But I could do some total customs because it was his dept (i.e. he gets commission). The installation manager told me during the install that they should have never accepted my job as a reface (there were a number of other complications). So I'm not sure what to do now....See MoreHelp for grooved kitchen cabinet doors
Comments (8)I just “researched” birch wood and discovered it is one of the best for painting. It is harder wood and will stand up better. Then I found a youtube on how to refinish birch. You might want to watch it..it’s quick and precise. Bottom line, I wasn’t crazy about the 4th sample, which he felt was the nicest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XL_58_22SEA So, I’m going to vote for painting the cabinets. Try one door first without filling the grooves. I think it will be fine. I’m adding this link, as well. I have no idea how to paint anything. I live that up to the pro painter. https://www.thespruce.com/cabinet-paint-brands-4134632...See MoreNeed help with kitchen cabinet hinges and rehanging cabinet doors
Comments (24)Taking into consideration your comments and suggestion, I took a much closer look at all the hinges - new and old. Some of the Liberty hinges are not sitting as tight at the inset as the old hinges. The outside of the hinge that screws to the cabinet is also off slightly which is why a shadow of the old hinge is visable. Additionally, the entire hinge sits farther away from the doors than the older hinges. All of these variances are very slight, but when combined they make a hugh difference. Oddly enough, not all of the new hinges fit the same, hence being lucky with the first two I bought. Even though they must stamp out these hinges, they are not the same. The question still remains as to what I am going to do. I called Amerock and they said they would consider sending me samples to try. A representative from one of the local kitchen cabinet companies at the home show yesterday recommended a local hinge company. I am going to go there to see if they can identify the manufacturer of the old hinges and can offer up a better replacement. Internet searches have still not provided any identification of the old hinge manufacturer's logo. Please let me know if you can think of any other ideas or suggestions....See Moreartistsharonva
