best sealant for durable limed wax finish kitchen cabinets
Comments (6)>You just learn a valuable lesson about planning the job start to finish before starting. Yep. The first rule of finishing is to run a trial, start-to-finish, on a piece of "scrap" before you touch the final project. Avoid the "ready, fire, aim" approach, AKA, "What do I do now?" Polyurethane has its own set of adhesion issues, exacerbated by a foundation of wax. It will peel off like a bad sunburn. Oil-based poly is going to significantly yellow or amber your look, even if it did stick. Waterborne poly, which is mostly acrylic with poly thrown in for marketing purposes, will give a cooler, sometimes bluish, tint that would not affect the white liming as much. But it won't stick either. In addition, a wax finish is about as close to no finish at as as you can get. Virtually no resistance to water, soiling, cleanability, etc. -- most of the things you apply finish for in the first place (the remaining one being beautification, the one thing you did achieve.). You might have achieved the same look by using a white-wash / pickled oak / etc. (names dependent upon mfr.) stain followed by a KCMA certified, low-gloss w/b acrylic. I add this in case anyone in the future reads this....See Morecerused oak floor directions anyone?
Comments (1)Durable finish and true "cerused" oak do not exist in the same universe. Practice with some scrap oak, but wiping on a diluted white stain and then putting on a good topcoat might get close. Look at the "whitewashed" stains from various manufacturers....See Morecabinet hardware for kitchen cabinet kitchen hardware
Comments (3)Lovely kitchen in the making but that light fixture for over the table is just too too much. Will you need pendants over the island?...See MoreLight wood rta kitchen cabinets
Comments (6)I loved the alpine stain also. I have not been able to find a photo of any complete cabinet or kitchen. hard to make a choice when there's no examples out there. did you ever find any pictures with this stain. ?...See Moregayleen1
