THE CABINET

FINISHING THE CABINET

In this video, I show you how to apply a finish to the cabinet. If you’ve sanded the cabinet to a high standard, this should be a somewhat foolproof stage, especially if you’re using an easy to apply finish such as oil.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

    - How to prepare for applying finish
    - How to apply the first coat
    - How to cut back between coats
    - How to achieve a flawless finish
