Before you begin re-painting your cabinets, you have another option. Painted cabinets can be changed to real wood cabinets just by using Flexwood ®. Flexwood ® allows the flexibility of changing a painted cabinet to a beautiful natural stained wood cabinet. Flexwood ® is an economical way of updating your kitchen or bathroom cabinets without the total expense of replacing the cabinet boxes. Flexwood ® is the original flexible wood veneer sheet. YES, it's real wood! Select wood veneers are permanently bonded under heat and pressure to a resin saturated backer sheet. This backer allows flexibility and acts as a barrier to prevent adhesives and finishes from penetrating. Take some time to visualize what you want your refreshed kitchen to look like before you decide. This could be an opportunity for you to not only get the cabinets cleaned up, but to completely change their look. This Flexible Material comes with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive for re-facing cabinets. PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesives) a peel and stick application. NO ADDITIONAL ADHESIVE REQUIRED WITH THIS PSA PRODUCT. Preparation is the most important step in the process of re-facing your cabinets, and it is very important to make sure that all of the surfaces you are going to apply with Flexwood ® are completely free of all grease, grime; food residue and whatever else may be stuck to them. STEP 1 : Remove curl from veneer sheets. Lay sheets flat and cover with plywood while sheets acclimatize to the ambient conditions of the job site. Ideal conditions are 70º – 80º F at 35% - 50% relative humidity; prior, during and after installation. If you pre-finish sheets as 2’ x 8’, they should be dried, re-rolled just as received, and placed back in the original shipping carton. This will help pre-finished sheets stay flat until used on the job. Unsupported, un-mounted pre-finished sheets are subject to finish cracking under adverse conditions of humidity and temperature. STEP 2 : Pressure sensitive adhesive sticks best to lacquered, enameled, or varnished top-coated surfaces which are not peeling, cracking, or flaking and are free of dirt, dust, grime wax or grease. This product normally comes 24” wide. Do not attempt to join sheets to cover areas wider than 24”. Never attempt to use this product in direct contact with bare wood, sanding sealers, high pressure laminates, melamine surfaces, or other plastic surfaces. It is the sole responsibility of the installer to test each surface to determine if this product is suitable for each application. STEP 3 : Use only Denatured Ethyl Alcohol (SOLOX) to remove grease, grime, dust and waxes. Never use mineral spirits, naphtha, or gasoline. These leave an oily film on the finished surface. Then uniformly scuff sand the finished surface with 280-320 No-Fill sandpaper. (If bare wood is exposed use enamel, lacquer or varnish topcoats to coat the exposed bare wood) Then tack-rag wipe dust free. Re-wipe with denatured ethyl alcohol and apply the sheet. STEP 4: Trim veneer sheet ½” oversize all around to allow trimming. Loose fit the sheet with the release liner in place to ensure correct fit. STEP 5 : Slit the release liner along the centerline of sheet and peel back 1” on each side to reveal 2” wide strip of adhesive. Crease the liner flat. STEP 6 : * Do not use J roller. Sheets must be scrapped down tightly with a Flexwood Scraper. * Do not allow adhesive to pick up trash or dust. * Keep fingers off the adhesive. * Do not press tightly to surface until certain that the sheet is in the correct position. *Installed veneers must be promptly finished to guard against high humidity conditions. STEP 7 : Align the sheet STEP 8 : Lightly touchdown. STEP 9 : Pull the release liner from the back of the sheet and scrape the veneer to the surface as you pull the liner. Do not use fingers to smooth the veneer. This will result in bubbles. Use the scraper tool. “J” rollers do not result in sufficient nip pressure. Insufficient pressure during application is the major cause of delaminating and checking after application. Pressure sensitive adhesives are very sensitive to lack of pressure. Strive for all possible scraper pressure during application. STEP 10 : The scraper tool must be used to apply pressure to the sheets. It is very important to eliminate all bubbles and trapped air which will result in a failed application. Go Slowly! It is necessary to exert maximum pressure on the surface with the scraper tool. Use of the release liner or Kraft paper between the scraper tool and the veneer surface will eliminate any burnishing of the veneer. Re-facing kitchen cabinets If you are installing this product on kitchen cabinet end panels do not jam fit the sheets tightly between the back of the face frame, and the wall. All wood tends to expand in the presence of high humidity. For that reason, never jam Flexwood sheets between limits. Allow at least 1/16” on each side for expansion. Failure to allow for expansion can result in failed applications. Pressure sensitive adhesive do not achieve ultimate adhesion until 72 hours after being applied to appropriate surfaces. Bear in mind that wood veneers are vulnerable to high humidity. Remember every installation requires diligence and execution.

When painting there are a few details that you need to consider to ensure that you are satisfied with the result. Are your cabinets painted now or are they finished with a stain and varnish (or lacquer)? If they are painted, do you want to paint them the same color? Take some time to visualize what you want your refreshed kitchen to look like before you decide. This could be an opportunity for you to not only get the cabinets cleaned up, but to completely change their look. 1. Cleaning the Cabinets : Preparation is the most important step in the process of painting your cabinets, and it is very important to make sure that all of the surfaces you are going to paint are completely free of all grease, grime; food residue and whatever else may be stuck to them. You can use Denatured Alcohol and a rag and then allow them to dry thoroughly. 2. Sand the Cabinets : Once they are dry, use a filler to fill any damaged areas; glazing putty will work best. This is a pre-mix Bondo® that comes in a tube, this material dries quickly and is orange in color so it easy to spot when sanding. Use a piece of fine grit sandpaper - 150 or finer - and make a few passes over all the flat surfaces of the cabinets. The slightly sanded surface will allow the primer to bite and hold onto the cabinet surface. It can be a tedious process, but taking the time to lightly sand your cabinets before you prime and paint them will greatly increase longevity of the paint job. Don't underestimate the importance of this step! 3. Apply Primer : After sanding, it's time to prime. Primer forms a better bond with the surface than paint alone would. This means that the paint is less likely to chip and peel if it gets bumped with dishes or pots and pans. If your cabinets are already painted and you are re-painting them the same color, it is OK to skip this step and go ahead and apply the paint. If, however, your cabinets are stained and you are trying to cover up the natural wood grain with paint, you must prime them first. The paint will not stick to the varnished surface and the color of the stain will most likely bleed right through your paint. There are several types of primer that you can use, and which one you choose is largely based on what kind of paint you want to use over the top. If you are using an oil-based paint, an interior oil based primer is recommended. These products tend to have a very strong odor and they are best used when you can properly ventilate the room. If you are planning to use a latex paint for your top coat, then a shellac based primer is recommended. This product tends to dry fairly quickly, so make sure that you are ready to go before you begin applying it. The shellac based primers, just like the oil based, carry a very strong odor and caution should be used. 4. Paint the Cabinets & Doors : There are several ways to apply the paint. A pneumatic sprayer is the best way to get a smooth and glossy finish. If you don't have access to one, however, don't panic - you can still get a great finish by using a high quality paint brush 2 1/2" to 3" would be ideal. The key to achieving a professional finish with a brush is to use very thin coats. It may be tempting, after all the work you've already done, to try to coat the paint on as thick as possible just so you can be finished. This is not a good idea. The best and most durable paint jobs are built up by consecutive thin layers of paint, not just one thick one. 5. Add Additional Coats : Lightly apply your first coat and let it dry completely. If you really want to achieve a professional finish, take a piece of 150 to 180 grit sandpaper and very lightly sand the surfaces again. You are not trying to remove the paint, but instead are insuring that the next coat has the smoothest possible surface to adhere to. Once that is complete, add your second coat. In most cases two coats of paint will be sufficient. Occasionally, though, you may find that you get better results from three. This is often true with woods that carry a heavier grain, like oak. Once the doors are painted and fully dry, simply install the Blum European hidden hinges in the predrilled holes hang them up, sit back, and enjoy the bright, clean and renewed space that you've worked so hard to achieve.
