White Cabinets and trim. BM Advance.

[Paul G]

Great advice here!!!! Not to steal the thread, I have a question....
Poplar face frames, mdf raised panel doors with poplar. I have an Apollo sprayer, what would you guys recommend for priming the wood (poplar & MDF) and then final coat.
I'm a BM guy, most of the interior of house is painted with BM
Thank you!

And if I step on anyones toes, I apoligize...

I'm using General Finishes Milk Paint topped with their Enduro clear poly. So far so good via air assisted airless and will be trying it via the new Apollo HVLP as well soon, GF has HVLP specs for their products on their website.

for those that have used it i have a question
im having a similar issue with bmadvance. its been 8 days now and the coating still seems soft. How many days did it take to fully cure to a hard finish.
the tech sheet says it  develops "over time" which seems odd to me
thanks for any help.

It normally took 8-10 days.  I use my finger nail to touch the paint and see if it is soft.

If you use BM advance, be ready for a long cure time.  It takes several days before you could sand and apply the next coat.  A week is a safe bet.

It is an amazing paint, but that is the drawback in my opinion.

I agree depending on environmental conditions it can take a long time to cure. I stopped using it on cabinets, we now use waterborne lacquer like sherwin williams kem aqua. I mostly use white shellac for priming our repaints.
