      Halving then quartering a standard sheet of sandpaper evenly can be fitted on any of the quarter sheet sanders. A half sheet folded in thirds is SOP in the paint trade working well for those who have small as well as large hands. The DIY ad/infomercials make it look as if there are just a few types of abrasive papers. Not so!

    I just had to come back and tell you that I refinished my kitchen cabinets (all 54 of them) and I did it every step that you showed in this video; except that I used a stain without the Polyurethane. I did the stain first then applied the Polyurethane separate after the stain. My cabinets turned out looking brand new! I am so glad that I found your video, it helped me so much. Thank you.

      @@rachelburright1582 when I went to Home Depot to buy my stain and polyurethane I talked to the gentleman that worked in that department and he said the with his experience with the stain mixed with the polyurethane didn't work as well as doing it separately. I bought a small can of it anyway and tried it on a old piece of wood I had laying around and didn't care for it either. I think that it boils down to preference. I did mine in the two steps of stain then polyurethane and I loved the finished look.

      @TheDingfish 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi what stain did you use, just the normal minwax one? but since it doesnt penetrate wouldnt it just sit on top and not dry properly? or did you do the shellac layer and then that helped it to even out? I live in a country where I dont have access to such a wide range of staining products but I can get stains and polyurethane seperately so Id love to know how you did it
