Apply Primer/Surfacer

What happens here

For optimal results, apply two coats of a high-build primer/surfacer. This step helps to create a smooth, uniform base for the topcoat and can aid in filling the grain of the wood, especially on grainy woods like oak. A catalyzed primer can also be used, offering similar hardening benefits as catalyzed lacquer. With the recommended primer/surfacer, it's often not necessary to sand between coats, simplifying the process and ensuring a smooth finish.

Goal: Apply two coats of a high-build primer/surfacer to the cabinets, optionally using a catalyzed primer for enhanced durability and grain filling, allowing proper dry time between coats.
