I am working toward getting my kitched cabinet project back on board. The frameless cabinet parts are all cut and ready to be finished. Because I want to have the cabinets and doors completely done before I start tearing into my exisiting kitchen, and because I know these boards will likely be stacked up for a while after they are finished, I have a few questions.
I am planning on spraying Target USL - a semi-gloss clear on the interior, and a tinted color on the edge banding and the exterior faces.
So here are my questions.
1) I assume I will have to spray a finish on both sides of each board, even those that will never be seen to avoid cupping the board. Is this correct?
2) I'm using the Target USL because it has a "burn in" between coats and will theoretically create a uniform seal between the interior clear, and the edge banding (and some exterior surfaces) that will have tinted product. Are there any tricks to spraying a clear and a tinted Target USL product on the same board?
3) I have the PSH1 and the detail gun as well. I was thinking that I would use the PSH1 for the clear, and the detail gun for the tint, and simply swap between guns as I go through the project and move the air hose from gun to gun depending on the side of the board etc. Does this make sense?
I really appreciate the help on this. I'm new to HVLP and waterborne products, but I have to say that my expereince with this so far has been very positive.
