It ruined my cabinets. Do not buy this. It is junk in a bottle. It does NOT work.

I have used it on mahogany louvers, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, in dry and tropical climates. Awesome product. I washed first with Murphy's wood oil soap, then applied two coats. Keeps wood looking like new for years.

Yes. We put it on our laminate cabinets last spring. The only thing you have to do is rough up any sides otherwise it goes straight on. Because it is more like a paint rather than a stain it will chip off some. I just keep a small jar of paint around for touch ups. But unlike paint it lets the "grain look" show through. We love it!!

I have only used these on cabinet doors and not drawers. On doors they work great.

Yes, in order to get the cabinets stained well I removed all screws. You need to do a light sanding anyway to remove the gloss finish. The gel goes a long way. I like the sock method to get gel on and it takes a couple of coats. However, I was able to buy a quart and did my kitchen and a bathroom.

The only way to do this is by COMPLETELY sanding the old cabinets. This product is not like paint, it is a stain and works best on light to medium colored wood. The color (end result) varies depending on the original color of wood.

These work well on cabinets but will not work on drawers. You'll need a different system.

Sure, it works on lots of furniture. I used mine for my white nightstands and got lots of room underneath and they reach my high bed!

Yes as long as it is dry and cured. I've used it on plastics, acrylics, urethanes, oil based varnishes and nitrocellulose lacquer as long as the material is fully dry and cured there is no problem.

I have used this lacquer on very small parts for guitars, especially parts that are touched often with the hand, like the tuning keys. The lacquer has held up very well, several years in some cases. Be careful to get the spray on all surfaces and use several very light sprayings according to the instructions.

yes, if the cabinets finish coat is a smooth (glossy) finish that does not allow suction leak!!!

Yes. This product works wonderfully on veneer wood. However, like any other cleaner, be careful not to soak the veneer. Too much moisture makes wood swell and that can cause veneer to lift, crack, or wrinkle off the base surface. Be sure to wipe away excess and keep veneer out of direct heat or sunshine for longer lasting beauty in your furniture.

Yes, I have tried this over normal lacquer polish. The only trick is that you must make sure that the Lacquer polish is completely dried before the Gelish Top It Off is applied. It does help the lacquer to chip less The Top It Off works on metallic lacquers best.

You weren't specific on what kind of walls or type of cabinets. I originally bought this to clean grout on my ceramic floor...it worked just ok...but then i used it to remove wallpaper...worked excellent! so if you want to clean walls with wallpaper I suggest not unless you want the wallpaper to be removed. I also would not recommend on any kind of home walls like sheetrock, plaster or even panelling (if people still have that)...I just used it on my cinderblock walls in my basement and it worked great...also on cement basement floor and ceramic tile (didn't clean grout very well though)...I use it every other month on my tiled shower walls for a good clean. I would not recommend using it on good wooden cabinets...I just redid my kitchen a couple years ago and was told just to use a soft rag with warm water and for those tougher greasy spots like over the stove, a little bit of mild soap and warm water than then just go over it with a clean warm rag. I definitely would not recommend this steam cleaner on wooden cabinets. Hope this helps!

Yes! That's the beauty of it. Mine were white-wash stained cabinets initially. I used "000" steel wool pads to scuff the surface in the direction of the grain to remove any gloss and to clean them up (don't kill yourself sanding...the steel wool works great and gets into the crevices). The gel stain is like a paint...it stays on top of the surface...does not really sink into the wood anyway, so as long as you scuff it up slightly it will work fine. Go for it!

It will work. My suggestion: get a empty and cleaned gallon milk jug for measuring and storage and a spray bottle ($1 kind) with a stream feature for accurate spraying to keep from getting on everything. I would not use in my cabinets near dishes or food of any kind. Spray door entrys, windows, along baseboards and corners especially on sides where neighbors, behind appliances, etc. and OPEN OPEN OPEN those windows and leave for awhile. I would Keep it away from babies/pets especially while liquid - check with company about after it dries. And your neighbors will probably thank you too.
