Glad you explained about the composite material (MDF) for the panels. If you use panels made of solid wood the calk will crack.

Btw great tips here and instruction. Like the VO style as you work in a fast frame rate.
Look forward to doing the next cabinet door your way. The wife prefers having the grain show under the paint - which shows it's real wood. Versus the wood putty fill over the grain - which could give off the MDF look. Thoughts? Think I prefer the subtle show of grain, but could just be me.
Nice tips. I use a super light chamfer bit in my palm router to ease the edges of my doors before sanding, perhaps 1/32 to 1/16" at most and hand sand them ever so lightly... helps keep the edges nice and crisp looking, but not so sharp they don't hold paint well like you said. Proper sanding and priming are really the key steps to any paint job.
That cordless Dewalt sander is my favorite.
I was searching for James Taylor, but I came across this video and couldn't stop watching. My boyfriend has a cabinet shop. He loves to make them, but he hates painting them. I think he'll enjoy this video.
Your knife looks a lot like one of those Rambo knives that my brother wanted when we were younger.
Bet you were searching for that James Taylor classic - Factory finish on my painted cabinets, right? :-)
I don't even bother with primer from the paint store anymore. Just get some awl grip high build primer from your marine store. You wont regret it its one coat and done for grain issues or blemishes. Great video!
i suggest priming bare wood first before applying caulk but whatever works
I get the same finish using oil based paint with an airless rig and fine finish tip
Kinda hard to buy oil based anymore.

Hello The Handyman. I am 19 years old and I am working as an electrician's apprentice with a solo self-employed master of 25 years. Since 16, I've been getting landscaping, painting and other odd jobs like a couple ceiling fans, some drywall repair. I thought you would like to know that I've been watching all your vids and learning everything I can because I want to have a successful home service business. I see you as someone I want to be like in the future. RUclips Rocks!!
My friend, you rock! Guys like me wish there were many more like you, you can't hire a kid (or anyone under 40) to do trade work to save your life today. Stick with it, and keep watching this guy. I'm 33 years in the trade and watch everything this guy puts out!
@@billysyms5761 You're right man. Only a few of my friends are going into the trades. At least 90% of my generation either doesn't like to work with their hands or are too scared/lazy.
@@nashboucher3822 unfortunately your generation thinks life is (or should be) easy. They'll work for me a day or two and quit "you work to hard". Very sad.
@@billysyms5761 Yes, part of me wishes I grew up in a different time. Phones and new technology have a big part in killing a lot of kids ambition, social skills and work ethic. I haven’t been alive for that long but times have definitely took a sharp turn since I was born.

I have never heard of that vinyl sealer before. If you tell me I can spray that on the edges of MDF than paint over it without all the BS of prepping MDF, I will be the happiest #1 cabinet maker on all of the youtubes. LOL I have mixed thoughts about what you did with that caulk. I think what these ladies are really complaining about is on cheaper cabinets the fitment of the center panels are always loosy goosy.
yeah shellac works for mdf also. sherwin williams and diamond vogel also have sealers mdf can be a pain in the ass i dont even sand it before i spray it anymore just coat then sand it. no more fuzzzies! agree with you on the caulk its a bad idea in my opinion. that stuff cracks it looks worse. using a shaper and feeder eliminate inconsistent groves for the panel and lightly sanding the inside edges helps also. i hate the gaps to, but i will not caulk them.
Love the ka-bar! Semper Fi!
@Richard Bradley was your answer right?
He puts a little caulk in for the wives. Wives love caulk, good man.
First time viewer here, love your video and I believe that is a K-Bar knife? USMC here, and you too perhaps?
I wish you would have done a demonstration on a harder door. That one was easy no groves or strange corners
I love your video, great job! I watched it multiple times and can’t find the info on what wood grain filler you used. Can you please share?
Also is this lacquer able to be tinted to a color or sold in other colors?
Thank you!
Aqua coat is a great wood grain filler
Looking down at the comments what good is a video for you to help people if you don’t list any of the products that you use or answer the questions good for nothing!!!
Hi Handyman, What brand/type of caulking and wood filler are you using in this video? I’m about to start a cabinet project and need all the help I can get. Thank you for taking the time!
Looks great. Keep up the hard work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Hi, I just noticed your video ... Is that knife a K-bar used by USMC?
Right! NS Builders. Super high end builder, pre-paints the edge of the panel so he doesn't get that line. Good tip. Caulk works.
Dang I wish you lived in GA. About to start a kitchen remodel and that includes... you guessed it! Cabinets
Caulking should be a trade all by itself, amazing how many "Handymen" have no idea how to do it. Will all the boarding up of tile showers and tub surrounds there's going to be a fortune to be made recaulking their cold joints. I use a regular bondo spreader in that application - a hydo sponge in the bath and kitchen.
always amazed by everything you can do.
Hello, what spray tip size did you use please for the vinyl? Thx!
What wood is best to work with? I want to use plywood
When filling the grain and the seam between the styles and rails, after painting have you ever noticed cracking at the seams? I want to hide the seams and have the doors and trim look like a single piece, but the wood filler keeps cracking at the seams.
bondo
Great job! Can you please tell me what kind of a sprayer you used as well as how to mix the paint and what to mix it with?
Big fan of your channel!
Did you get a response?, I have the same question
Thanks for showing your process of preparation but can you tell me what kind of filler you are using? I can not find anything that is soft enough to spread around like that.
Thanks for the great video. Wish I would have found it sooner. I had a question on your vinyl sealer. Its that necessary or can you use a quality spray primer like M.L cambells clawlock? I used that this weekend and seemed to work pretty good but its $$$.
I can use Vinyl sealer just leaning on what to do or not to do. Also, is there a particular pre-cat paint you like to go with? I already built my kitchen cabinets but havent painted them yet and was leaning towards cambells Turino. Its a post cat laquer and you may ask why Cambell? Its what i've always used for clear finishes so was sticking with the same products but Im open to suggestions. I appreciate your feedback and time and will support your channel anyway I can. Thanks again
Hey the handyman can you tell me what you use exactly for the panel in the middle?
Coors is great beer
Good job mr handyman
You have to sand MDF? And what kind of vinyl sealer?
Do you have to thin the lacquer?
Hello Mr Handyman what are your opinions on deglosser as opposed to sanding?
lol i just did a cabinet paint job and let me tell you.....frustrating, previous owners caulked and painted real wood panel doors and they cracked at the joint. i had to peel, sand, prep and paint all 18 cabinet doors plus drawer fronts and frame. i did as you did and sealed with the proper caulking on the face side and not the back as to allow for expansion and contraction. i charged $2400
What kind of caulk is the proper caulk? Latex or silicone?
@@derricke.6730 the thing is the caulking has to be flexible and paint able. in my case the hardened silicon had peeled away from the paint. the previous handy person didnt properly prepare the cabinets or use a decent paint
Had a question handyman. I have a client that wants his white cabinets painted to an espresso finish. Ha already has existing cabinets that are factory espresso but needs the other half painted. He just purchased a home and that’s how they had the cabinets. Will this process work for what I need to do? Also, I believe they’re not wood. They have that particle board smooth shiny finish. Is it possible to do?
enjoyed the video, very helpful
what compressor are you using if i can ask?
Wow that looks amazing
Nice work handyman!
What about the faceframe etc?
What caulk are you using for the panel seam? I caulk this seam as well, but I have ran into problems with cracking. It's usually a year or two down the line that it happens.
I would also like to know the answer to this question.
Looks like Dap dynaflex ultra...
Man I must really be out of touch but 25-30k for cabinets. That’s unbelievable...
It's a racket but the rich people pay it so they keep pushing up the price. I ended up building my own and sending them to get finished, then I got granite remnants and cut and polished it myself. Ended up spending around 6 grand total fory new kitchen, of course it took me awhile but there was just no way I would have been able to afford the quality that I have now.
What brand of paint sprayer do you use?
Caulk in panels is a nightmare. We built a nice house and painters had to come peel out all of the cracking caulk due to movement. Do not caulk!
Looks great
So no primer with these paints?
What is the filler you used for the grains. Thanks
That knife look like the knife they use on the gun in ww2 mark 1
Cock the panel to the frame of the door, or caulk the panel to the frame of the door?
if your trying for a factory finish why would you use precat, and not the finish a factory would use?
What is the sprayer
Why not use glue and saw dust to fill the grain?
I started coughing when you blew the dust off the door.
Lmao
beautiful job! thank you!
What sander is that ? I’m looking for a new one
Great video. New subscriber here. I know many have asked on here, but I haven't seen an answer from you yet. What product are you using to fill the wood grain and seams? One viewer mentioned it might be a HW Rustoleum product?
I need that mask with the face shield for when I remove moldy walls. Any good hot spots to purchase?

I've never heard of the vinyl sealer before. Would a primer not be enough? What does the sealer do?
The sealer, seals the wood causing your next material (primer) to not keep soaking into the wood causing the wood grain to raise then resulting in needing a soft sand between coat. It also gives it a good surface to adhere to. I've poly items with and without sealer and I can tell you that without sealer I have to do a lot of poly finish coats to get desired smoothness. When I use sealer, it cuts the amount of coats to a lesser amount. 1 sealer and 2 finish coats instead of no sealer and 3-4 finish coats
Хорошая работа 😎
Good job.
K-Bar, old Marine here.
Hi/ what is vinyl sealer and just for mdf? Thx
You don't apply any clear coat?
Handyman teaches us how to make glass cabinets
what is the best top coat that doesn't yellow???
I was told 120 was better for the paint to bond
Looks Good
Thanks,
At 5:40 the knife looks like a USMC KA-BAR
Quick question, if I don't have a good air compressor, do I go out and buy a big one like you have or are hvlp sprayers any good?
I think you mean turbine sprayer. Used one many years. Use compressor now.
I believe that knife is a WWII era bayonet.
Thank you Thank you gracias gracias, this video was perfecto 😊🫶🏼
If I took this long to paint 1 cabinet door, I wouldn't make any money. Now imagine doing a whole kitchen worth at this pace. If charged accordingly, you can buy all new cabinets for that cost.
What do you think of the cup hook and coat hanger method instead of saw horses. How long does that vinyl sealer take to dry?
I used that method a lot. I switched to spraying flat and got a much better finial coat. I could hand for the first 2 coats then go flat for the last heavy coat.
@@TheHandyman1 That's fair. I don't do it either. That grain filler you were talking about is called Aqua Coat I think.
Where did buy the paint?
I think that’s a Ka-Bar knife just don’t know what model
I tried this method and honestly turned out really bad. The paint doesn’t dry as fast
Hmmm...I going to guess a SOG knife?
I know that materials for making a door are fairly cheap, but they are also fairly cheap paint ready online…..and about the same painted….
If i'm using melamine for the doors do I still use the sealer ?
no
Rambo First Blood
What is the dealer took he used missed a big detail
So basically, housewife's want more Caulk!🤣
Oh i sand to 400grit and peopke couldn't guess what it was made from
Auto body prep is EXACTLY the quality level one needs. When I see DIY paint work I wanna be honest and say, " it looks like garbage" In this case a pro is teaching the DIYers😂 that they should hire a pro. Vinyl sealer is often skipped. No point in spraying a high quality auto enamel if the prep is half-assed. Now tell me how painters are only getting $20hr on average in USA? Mmmm, maybe it's because Americans would rather mediocrity vs excellence. Job well done, never stop being the best.
Would you still recommend rounding off the edges,if the cabnits I'm painting are flush inset cabnits
Just a slight ease on inset doors , just enough to take sharp edge off
I really liked your video. I wish you would have given more detail on the products you used. For example, “they make a special filler.” What is the type or brand? Also what type of caulk did you use? Another example, “ this is pre-catylized lacquer.” What does that mean and what is the benefit? Thanks and keep up the good work.
I believe the grain filler is made by Timbermate.
This is the exact thing I was thinking and it is not in his Amazon list FYI
I'm making some assumptions here. That the lacquer and vinyl products are solvent based and that your "spray booth" is not vented and those lights are not explosion proof. You might be wearing a respirator, but the flash off fumes stay in the air for some time. After spraying I assume you take off the respirator and stay in your shop. Lacquer and lacquer thinner are very hazardous to your health. Just wondering about the message here about a diyer spraying solvent based product without proper ventilation and such. Just my two cents. I'm a retired furnituremaker.
...also can get the particulates in the air settling on the finish. Yes laquer drys fast, but some of those particles are a lot faster.
When I saw the Coors can I knew it was legit!
Say it ain't so.
This is voice over action is kind of weird, given the usual spirit of your videos. Hahahahaha
Nice work. I've painted a LOT of cabinets and have never used a vinyl sealer before... only lacquer under-coaters. And if we're "closing the grain", we just spray more coats of primer and/or paint--until the grain is closed. That's the beauty of lacquers... you can re-coat almost immediately.
Personally, I prefer an open grain look. Why use "real" wood (vs mdf) if you want the finish to look like plastic? When the grain is open, painted cabinets look like wood--not mdf. And I can usually explain that to a client well enough that they get it... but I of course give them the option to have open or closed grain--usually by showing them a sample of each. And, of course, we charge more to close the grain--since that takes more time and materials. I'd say it's about 50/50 in terms of client preference.
i think the simple answer on wood vs mdf for the frames is that poplar is easier to mill than mdf of the same dimensions. natural wood also stays together better. 1/4" mdf panels RULE for painted cabinetry.
"Why use "real" wood (vs mdf) if you want the finish to look like plastic? When the grain is open, painted cabinets look like wood--not mdf. "
Totally agree. Closing the grain makes things look like pre-fab Ikea cabinets. It's extra work and expense to make something that looks more low-budget.
Makes sense here, though: with the composite floating panel, you want things to match. Having open grain on the frame and a smooth panel would be a little odd.
Those seams are a complaint of this househusband. Wife doesn’t even notice all the crap that gets stuck in those seams.
I used to chuckle when I heard you say "You are watching the #1 home improvement Chanel in the entire world" in the intro...after watching you for many years...I now nod my head in agreement...Thank you for all you do! you are making the world a better place by sharing your hard earned knowledge.
So, what vinyl primer did you use? What filler did you use? I could not find this on your tools, in the video, or in answers to questions. Help?
Ok. I looked more closely at the video. Sealer is LENMAR Vinyl sanding sealer. Still I couldn't find the filler.
Old school quality! Takes time, patience and talent.
Sucks that quality has become old school. It’s only downhill from here
I use a rotating stand when painting. You would not have to duck under, and potentially knock dust off your lights. (I made mine by taking the seat off an old office chair and replacing it with a platform.) I also use Duralaq and Ultralaq and have had very good success with them. The only difference is I use the white vinyl sealer. It's a great help for me in detecting imperfections before the finish coats.
Yes me too. Also use 3/4" ply cut down to 4x4" with drywall screws and bumpers on top.
Yeah, in our spray booth we have a lazy susan type set up that allows us to rotate the piece 360 degrees... which is definitely handy.
Not saying this method doesn't work but a lot of it is completely unnecessary. If you're having to fill your seams with filler or caulk, you need to practice your joinery techniques more. Where the rails and stiles meet should be completely seamless after sanding and the seam of the center panel should be so small that paint will fill it. I've been painting cabinets for years in a custom cabinet environment, and I have never heard of sealing the doors before painting them. If your primer is a good product, it will do all the sealing for you.
Who in the hell spends $5000 on a cabinet paint job???
I spent 7k on mine and it took 5 days. I would’ve done it myself but then it would’ve taken 6 months. I pay for the convenience.
