Hi everyone,
Boy, I really did it this time! I feel like a complete idiot! It's days like this that make me want to stick with turning bowls and chuck flat work forever. Heres what happened,....
I finally finished the construction of a new base cabinet for my old 14" Jet bandsaw. Rather than have a cabinet that looks like wood, I'd rather it appeared to be metal. So I decided to paint it. So off I trot to Home Depot to buy some sanding sealer, primer and topcoat.
Well, I bought the Minwax Sanding Sealer. It went on pretty easily and I allowed it to dry for a couple of days. It looked (and smelled) a lot like polyurethane. Today I sanded it with some 300 grit sandpaper and proceed to apply the primer.
It wasn't until I was all the way through that I looked at the label on the primer. It says, "Finest LATEX based primer yada yada yada". :eek:
So basically I just covered the entire case with a latex based paint ON TOP of a Urethane (oil) based sanding sealer! :mad:
So,...what to I do now?
See ya around,
