1. Preparing Your Cabinets
Before you can glaze your kitchen cabinets, you'll need
to prepare them. This means removing all hardware and doors from the cabinets.
If you want to keep your doors in place but remove their hardware. Be sure to
use painter's tape on each side of the doorframe so that it doesn't get covered
in paint during this process.
Next comes cleaning! Use a damp cloth with mild soap (or
simply water). Wipe down all surfaces of the cabinet doors and frames until
they are clean and dry. The cleaner they are going into this step, the better
results will come out at the end. Finally, use another soft cloth dipped in
warm water mixed with some dish detergent or mineral spirits if necessary. Wipe
away any residual dust or dirt left behind by previous attempts at cleaning off
grime. Then dry off once again with another towel before moving forward.
2. Cleaning Your Cabinets
You can use a mild soap and water to clean your cabinets,
or you can use a microfiber cloth or sponge. If there is stuck-on food, use a
soft-bristled scrub brush to remove it.
3. Applying Glaze
Now that you have your cabinet doors prepped, it's time
to put on the glaze. The best way to do this is with a paintbrush and in thin
coats. You don't want too much glaze on your brush at once because it will be
difficult for you to control where it goes and how much gets applied.
You also want to avoid applying any glaze directly over
areas that will be difficult or impossible for you to reach during installation
later on. For example, if there are handles on top of one of your doors (and we
all know how annoying those can be). It's better not to risk having any drips
or smudges show up after installation.
4. Finishing Touches
After you've applied the first coat of glaze, you should
wipe away any excess that has dripped or pooled on the surface. Let it dry for
at least 24 hours before touching up any missed spots or applying a second
coat. So glaze your cabinets or buy
