I kind of expected it to make the paint bubble up and peel off, but all it did was make it so the paint was now set and I could pick up my lid and use it as if it had been drying in the hot sun for 30 minutes!.
…and then we tacked the trim in place using just a couple of nails from the brad nailer..There isn’t really any way of using clamps on cabinets like this, so a couple of small nails were able to hold the heavy oak trim in place for us until the adhesive dried completely..
I really appreciate how this adhesive is clear and not yellow-ish, so it won’t mess up the nice clean look of our freshly-painted cabinets if we accidentally use too much!.So here’s how that part of the trim looked after we got the main part of the mouldings back in place.Of course, removing the original trim exposed a lot more than just the tops of the cabinets!
The whole vent hood area will be addressed soon and I’m really excited about the idea we have for that!.We exposed some wires and some random pink uglyness above the sink too, so we added in a nice thick piece of crown molding to give that part of the room a nice finished look..
I painted that whole area out in the same color as the rest of the walls in the room, but something still wasn’t quite right..
There are always unforeseen gaps and weird angles when you’re working with old houses like this!Now here’s where the magic happens!
Are you with me?.All you need to do, is go to your local hardware store, into the section where they keep the weed killers and bug killers and stuff and find one of these:.
It’s just a. basic hand-held chemical sprayer!.I’ve never seen it used like this before, have you?
