Vinyl-clad doors are basically a very thin laminate that's been heat set and shrunk around a door panel. You get the detail of a wood cabinet door but the low maintenance of plastic. There's a new Sticky at the top of this forum home page that provides instructions for how to paint cabinets. If you have additional questions, please post.

I'm working on home circa 1900 with dark stair railing and tread. 2nd floor rail in great shape and prefer not to mess with. What can I use to give me an opaque finish to match upper (open stair). I've redone stair tread already it's beautiful but you can see the grain which will not work for rail. Thanks for any advise you have!Read More

Flattest Topcoat wanted

I used a Minwax poly (clear satin). Is there a product know to keep the finish flat? Also, since it is a kitchen cabinet, which products are the most durable, scratch resistant? When I looked at similar finishes in kitchen stores it always seemed to look much flatter.Read More
