Prime and Paint Shelving Units

All right, so everything's cocked and I'm getting ready to put the primer then the paint. Now, I want to share with you guys the primer that I always use. The one that I always use is Kilt. It's a water-based interior uh primer. Now, they're not sponsored of the project or anything like that. They're just it's just really easy to work with. It's not too thick. It the problem with some of the thicker ones, once you put it on, it kind of clumps up the rest of the paint. So, that's the primer. I'm going to roll it on one coat. What it does is it seals all the MDF. That way, it doesn't absorb like a sponge and it'll be ready. We'll have to use like a minimal amount of paint and that's it. So once that dries, lightly sand with 220 just to cut all the the raised fibers that kind of go to the top, get it nice and smooth. Then for paint, the product that I always always go with is the urethane emerald alcata. I always got to get it right. And the way I explain how that product works is latex paint is a water-based paint. It dilutes with, you know, plenty of washing with water. Anyhoo, you cut it or dilute it with water. The way I explain how this product works is it dilutes with water just like latex paint, but then through whatever the chemical black magic that goes through it, it hardens like an oilbased paint. So, super tough. So, when kids get their grease on and all that stuff, you can wash it off without having to compromise the paint that's floated.
