Cabinet Refinishing LIVE! 2K Poly Coatings.

What happens here

Chris discusses solutions for paint defects like 'fish eyes.' He highly recommends Zinsser BIN, a 100% shellac-based primer, stating it has resolved every fish eye issue he's encountered. For small areas, he suggests using an aerosol 'bomb can' of BIN. For larger areas, loading BIN into a sprayer is advised. The process involves letting the base coat dry, sanding if the fish eyes are deep, and then applying BIN before recoating. He differentiates true shellac from synthetic shellac, noting the superior performance of true shellac for this issue.

Goal: Provide solutions for paint fish eye issues.

poly's, one of the things I I've run into because you it seems that invariably you're going to run into some fisheye somewhere and I've tried all kinds of things from using 100% silicone products like smoothie to a multitude of different primers to cleaning with Dawn dish soap. um everything of uh Ben Zenzer Ben is um is a shellac based primer a it's a true shellac it's resolved every single fisheye I've ever run into and so we typically doing cabinets furniture always have a bomb can of bin around so if you get some fisheye um let it dry the the the 2K polies dry really fast in 45 minutes to an hour you bomb it with Ben dries really fast typically go right back over it um it's completely resolved. If the fish eyes, if you spray a heavy coating on and the fish eyes have, you know, a pretty deep crater, um, if you spray a heavy coating on, you can, if it's quick enough, just wipe it all off, the paint off, then bomb it with, um, sh the bin, and then you can recote it. Otherwise, if they're pretty deep craters, wait for it to dry, sand it, um bomb it, or if you're doing a lot of priming, just load up Ben into a sprayer and um and and shellac based primers are awesome for resolving fisheye. So, just a simple little tip. Um hello from upstate New
