Q: How long does it take to stain kitchen cabinets?

Q: How long does wood filler take to dry?

• <div><p>It can take as little as 30 to 60 minutes for wood filler to dry, but some products take up to four hours. Always read labels to ensure you're following the manufacturer&rsquo;s instructions. Water-based wood fillers typically take longer to dry than oil-based or epoxy-wood fillers, especially when applied to large areas or deep cracks. Wood putty won&rsquo;t dry completely, remaining slightly pliable.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't sand cabinets?

• <div><p>If you don't sand your cabinets, the new paint or stain won&rsquo;t adhere properly, impacting the final finish and leading to peeling, chipping, or a sloppy result that won't stand the test of time. Sanding removes the old finish, smooths imperfections, and gives the new coat something to grip. Without it, you will waste your time, money, and effort.</p></div>

Q: Can you stain existing kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Yes, you can stain existing kitchen cabinets. Perhaps you&rsquo;ve moved into a new home but aren&rsquo;t in love with the existing stain. Luckily, you don&rsquo;t have to tear out the old cabinets and replace them. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-refinish-kitchen-cabinets.htm">refinish your kitchen cabinets</a> by removing the old stain&mdash;either by sanding or with a chemical stripper&mdash;then applying new stain and sealer to achieve the look you want for less than the cost of installing new cabinets.</p></div>

Q: Should I use primer on my cabinets?

• <div><p>Although it&rsquo;s not always necessary, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use primer, especially if you choose to paint over an old layer of paint without sanding. Primer helps the new paint successfully bond with the surface, and it can even help hide darker paint colors so you need fewer layers to switch to a lighter color.</p></div>
