Can I paint over veneer cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>It’s important to sand your cabinets before you paint them so that your paint job will hold. However, in some cases, you might be able to skip the sanding. For example, you could use certain <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">types of paint</a>, like mineral or chalk paint, that don’t require heavy sanding. You might also be able to use a high quality bonding primer or a liquid deglosser which allows the paint to stick without sanding. </p></div>

How do you paint particle board cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>If you prefer not to sand your particle board cabinets prior to painting, you can use mineral spirits and a rough sponge to add some grit to your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard cabinets</a> so that the paint will still stick. Keep in mind that using 120-grit sandpaper is still the preferred method for preparing your particle board cabinets for a new coat of paint.</p></div>

Q: Can I refinish over top of refinishing oil?

• <div><p>No. Once you apply refinishing oil, it will continue to seep into the wood, making it difficult or impossible to refinish over top of it. Since the product contains an oil that&rsquo;s meant to penetrate existing finishes, almost anything you put on top of it will bring the previous layer of stain with it. If you plan to refinish your cabinets more than once, it&rsquo;s a good idea to go with the traditional method of sanding before applying a new finish to the surface.</p></div>

Q: Is spray painting cabinets a good idea?

• <div><p>Many DIYers like to spray paint cabinets because it provides a more even-looking finish than painting with a brush. However, getting comfortable with a spray painter takes time and without practice, you may not spray the surfaces evenly. Take some time to practice painting with a HVLP sprayer on cardboard or scrap wood before diving into your project.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if I spill wood refinishing oil?

• <div><p>If you spill wood refinishing oil, wipe up the liquid quickly without spreading the stain and then use soap and water or a stain remover to get rid of the spot. Since the product is oil based, using a detergent like dish soap or a thinner like <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/paint-thinner-vs-mineral-spirits.htm">mineral spirits</a> will help take out the stain. You may need to repeat this process multiple times to remove the stain.</p></div>

The renter on the property was not happy with the work performed instead of replacing the hinges on the kitchen cabinets they only put screws in them which will not last very long and for $350 dollars the work should have been done better. My rating for this handyman and his work is only a 1.
