Recently finished kitchen project using transtints and
water borne ML Campbell hi gloss. Equipment used
was Festool midi eqvac unit, their Rotex 125 ESQ
sander and LS 130 Profile sander.

Stripped interior raised profiles of cabinet doors off
site. Sanded kitchen and taped off. Then sprayed 1
pound cut seal coat shellac on Maple using Fugi 3
stage HVLP. Apply dye stain by using plastic spray 
misting bottle on a rag then building color (mixed
denatured alcohol with a little lacquer retarder and
lacquer thinner to slow down dye stain drying time),
Spray lite coat of ML Campbell's (did not want to lift
dye stain), spray another tack coat then scuff sand
400 grit with Festool random orbital. Tone and or
shade as needed. Apply 2 more topcoats, scuffing
between coats.

Learned a lot by doing this job !

Starting point white pickled finish with conversion varnish topcoat.





Color sample for kitchen refinishing




Beginning sanding on site with Festool Rotex 125 and Festool
profile sander model LS 130 (customer did not allow stripper
usage.) Wanted to do this job so as to see time, problems
needing to be solved, cost. Will use this procedure in
commercial "Going Green" settings. Festool unit evac`s
99% of dust at time of sanding.




Sanded and stripping of cabinet doors off site. Then 1
pound seal coat, alcohol/dye stain mixed with small
amount of lacquer retarder and small amount of lacquer
thinner to improve open time, then wiped on sort of dry
to built color used plant mister to spray dye on rag,
water borne top coats. Stack like a deck of cards to dry.
