Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out a good finish for the kitchen cabinets I'm currently building.
They're just basic shaker-style cabinets. Soft maple and ply. The exteriors are going to be white and I want to do a clear finish inside the cabs and drawers.
I'm spraying using the HVLP setup I use for auto body work (another hobby).
I've done a ton of reading on this (and other forums) trying to figure out a good finishing approach for this. I've found something approaching 200,000 opinions and maybe 20,000 products.
My local Sherwin Williams has KemVar Plus conversion varnish in one gallon cans but they don't know anything about it. I was actually considering using Kem Aqua Plus, but they have this KemVar Plus, so... I dunno.
I also was looking at Benjamin Moore's Lenmar DuraLaq and MegaVar, but apparently they sold the Lenmar division?
So I guess what I'm asking is... does anyone know of a good info source or know anything about these commercial/industrial finishes?
In the past I've used Sherwin Williams ProClassic and it's not bad, but I'm looking for something more resilient to household chemicals and so forth.
