BEFORE BEGINNING, VIEW THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION VIDEO AND READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Remove your old doors by removing the screws from the hinges (F.3). If you plan to use the old hinges, keep hinges and screws together in a convenient location.
Remove drawers from the cabinets and set aside. Well be replacing the drawer fronts in Step 3.
Next, remove any cabinet mouldings (F.4). You should be able to pull it up easily using the tip of a flathead screw driver.
Remove any loose and/or peeling coatings from any surface you plan to cover with self-adhesive covering (SAC). Any depressions left in the surface should be filled with wood putty and sanded smooth.
Lightly sand any surfaces you plan to cover with self-adhesive coverings, using 150 grit sandpaper (F.5). DO NOT USE A POWER SANDER. Just scuff the surface. This will ensure a good bond when applying self-adhesive covering.
Clean the surface with a mild dishwashing liquid and water. DO NOT WET-SOAK, especially if the wood surface is exposed. Rinse with a damp rag and allow to dry thoroughly. Use household ammonia to remove wax. Read the manufacturers warning and instructions before using.
Remove any dust or sanding particles with tack cloth before applying self-adhesive coverings.
If you plan to use a door design to cover end panels, apply them after self-adhesive covering has been applied to face frame.
Caution: Self-adhesive coverings are designed to adhere to a finished surface. They will not bond to raw wood.
