the kitchen chronicles - Part 4 - glazing cupboard doors




Glazing Painted MDF Cabinet Doors

Ok.. So we've covered the priming and painting of the cupboard doors, and after a day or two of drying time it's time for the next step.   Once the paint has thoroughly dried take a sanding block and once again lightly sand the doors, just to smooth out any remaining bumps.

In this picture I have lightly sanded the paint and distressed edges in preparation for glazing.


Apply the glaze in the edges first and on sanded, distressed areas.


Wipe down with damp cloth leaving glaze in the crevices and on the raw edges.


The doors on top are finished


Here is a little sneak peek of what it's going to look like with the hardware
We're getting there!


Next Up.... Island Transformation Preview
