Epoxy resin coated timber kitchen cupboards

Epoxy resin coated timber kitchen cupboards

Hello again...

Cupboards had originally been painted with a gloss white.

I have been experimenting  with epoxy resin cutting boards etc and became quiet obsessed!!

Why not have a go on the cupboard doors!!  Considered replacing with new Kaboodle doors but the sizes etc were all wrong for this 1990's kitchen.

Used table top epoxy resin which can be poured a little thicker to fill in the profile of the doors first.

Then top coated with another layer of epoxy with a white pigment paste added .  Have used approximately $300 - $400 of epoxy.

These doors needed quiet a bit of epoxy to fill the profile...have covered old MDF cupboards in the bathroom and a much easier job...that's for another post

Apparently equal to 30 coats of varnish!   Very hard wearing and glossy and easy to clean.  Happy at this stage ...may attempt benchtop eventually ...but that is a much bigger job.

If attempting do start off with smaller project until you get a feel for the epoxy.
