I just painted my cabinets white. I’ve been trying to decide whether to use poly acrylic or to use wax, which I would prefer, but I am told that wax is not durable enough for cabinets. I am wondering if your wax works for durability on cabinets I also wonder if I should just use the gator hide top coat on the cabinets. Thanks Donna

I would not recommend wax for cabinets. Definitely go with Gator Hide, 3-4 coats if possible! You don’t want to use anything that will yellow over time, IE oil based products

hi, I just found your channel. My husband is going to be using Wise owl enamel in Inkwell, which is a navy color. Where in the process of waiting a few more hours after using Dixie Bell boss as the primer. The piece is a medium colored wood. My question is when he purchased the primer from our local store she told him to what primer he needed and handed him the product. As he was applying it, he said, why is it not white? We looked at the bottle and she sold him the clear. In my research this morning discovering that it’s stating in everything that I find that you should always use white when painting a darker color or a gray. So now we’re concerned that we’ve wasted our money in our time. Can you please share your thoughts if we should go back and get a darker primer or proceed with painting. We are under time constraints as we are trying to get this room put back together.

Interesting technique. I like the paint colors you selected. It's weird that you don't remove doors, drawers, hinges and knob plates. What about the overlapped part of the doors? That's going to show the old wood when the door is opened. Same for drawers. I have a hard time justifying putting on an expensive brown stain and then wiping it off. Most of it is wasted. Although, it looks beautiful.
