Tips for renewing your laminate cabinets

If you have a plain old laminate cabinet, your idea of ​​brushing and painting it for the update will put you off. You won’t need to run to the paint store to give a cabinet a facelift. By using some contact paper from your local hardware store, you can give a cabinet new life without the dirt, stains, and fumes from paints or even primers. Here is more information for you. It contains some simple steps that you can follow to get what you really need.

For the first step, you can sand your cabinet with 220-grit sandpaper to smooth out one surface of your cabinet, and then remove any loose substances or even finishes that can cause ripples or even bubbles under a contact paper.

For the second step, you need to wipe down a sanded surface with the tack cloth to remove any loose particles or even dirt. After that, measure the different pieces of your cabinets and set them aside as well. They can be used to cut the right size pieces of self-adhesive paper for your cabinet.

For the next step, it is important that you cut the pieces of your adhesive paper that is available in different colors and also in imitation wood, according to the measurements you take.
