Kitchen cabinets damaged by steam. Near bottom, finish is peeling off. Would this be a good product for that? Would I need to sand first? TY!

Well, ours were damaged by use and water by the sink. Droplets over the years, transferring dishes to dishwasher, wet hands leaving the sink for towels to dry, etc. We just used 0000 steel wool to apply this product. I uploaded photos to Amazon on this product. A faux drawer and cabinet below. If yours looks like mine then you could probably get away with the method we used. Any sealant/finish that was on ours was totally gone. We did not presand. Hope this helped

I think so. It does say to use a fine grain steel wool to put it on. If try a ragb1st ten the steel wool if that doesn't work.

If the finish on your kitchen cabinets is peeling off you will have to refinish them.This product only restores a stable finish that has been damaged. This productis not a varnish etc. it simply repairs an existing finish. Good Luck!

with any product they will tell you to try it in a spot that wont matter so much if it strips off the varnish. will it strip off the varnish or finish? if it does it should be sold in a different catagory. like all cabinet finishes over time they start to flake and you wont see this until you wipe it away, same thing happens when you use an area over and over it gets dirty you clean it and your down to the wood nothing you can do about that put keep the cabinets protected with products like scotts furniture polish which is a good cleaner to boot

For sure! You might want to take a fine grit sandpaper to the bottom. Good luck!

It should work just fine. Make sure to keep the product moist on the wood. I use an inexpensive paint brush to apply and in a few minutes, when it looks like it is drying, I give it another brushing and then in a few minutes scrap a spot to test if it is ready to remove. I put some stripper in a separate container (plastic coffee can) so as not to contaminate the original container. This will extend the shelf life of the original container and it will last for years for future projects.

Laminate wood? I would say so. I'm no expert by the majority of our cabinets are particle cheap stuff. The only thing I would suggest is that to at least sand your area down just a tad as I did the same to lift the gloss that is applied to top layer. I used two coats for the color I wanted then applied the clear coat to protect.

Rough up the laminate using 150 grit sandpaper removing most of the original color. Use long, even strokes to do this, top to bottom. Wipe down with a tack cloth. Clean with mineral spirits and let the surface dry thoroughly. I did this on the laminated ends of my kitchen cabinets applying very light coats and sanding very lightly between coats. I used 220 grit between coats. Top coated afterwards using 2 coats of satin polyurethane. They turned out very well.

Hi Since you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

Lightly sand it and just wipe clean. That's what I did. My cabinets are amazing!

If the wood is not smooth or if it has any peeling or splinters it would be best to sand it down to where it was smooth. Otherwise the new stuff would just peel, too.

Yes, this product has actually held up very well thus far on our bathroom vanity. I would offer two suggestions. (1) Surface preparation as always with coatings is key. (2) The spray system with the kit had a tendency to sputter and want to clog up which would affect the finish. I ended up putting this in my paint gun I use for auto painting in conjunction with my air compressor at home. If you have these tools at your disposal it may make for a better finish. Hope this helps.

Lightly sand the bench, it should be fine. Several light coats of gel stain until you obtain the results you are looking for. This stuff is amazing.

Patch it first, sand it and it should work just fine. I had knife cuts and dings in the old laminate and I patched and sanded them and it turned out great! I did this on the kitchen counters in my rental house about 9 years ago and it has held up through all the renters just fine. If the formula has not changed and you follow the instructions and do the work properly it will provide you with years of use and it looks great!

I have only used this for refinishing cabinets and furniture. Have to be careful tho, sometimes it spirts.

Hi Rose...I think this pattern would look great in any kitchen but I don't know about covering the outside of your kitchen cabinets. While it is heavy weight paper...if it got wet or if you had to clean it with any kind of cleaner I don't know how it would hold up. I used mine to cover a piece of thin plywood and made a homemade desk in a child's room. I have wiped it off with a damp sponge but follow with a dry towel just in case. So far...no problems. It still looks new and has shown no signs of water damage or tearing. Give it a try...you can always peel it off if it doesn't work. Good luck.

The advertising info indicates sealed hardwood, but I would think you might damage your cabinets. It might cause the wood to buckle and become misshapen. There are tons of cleaning tips on pinterest, but I've used the magic erasers with a good result.

I prepped my cabinet just like you would to paint. I took off doors and used painters tape to protect the floors and wall. There are lots of good DIY blogs on this. I would recommend googling or searching Pinterest to figure out how much you'll need for your project.
