I Used This To Recover Cabinets

So I used a few rolls of this to cover oak cabinet doors after seeing a how-to on YouTube as a more convenient way than sanding, priming, and painting. It worked well enough after following the technique of the tutorial, although there were a few gaps, but that had more to do with the beveling and curved parts on my cabinet doors and the fact that I am not an expert. IF you have flat cabinet doors, I highly recommend using this.It's very easy to dent/tear this material so you must be very careful and slow when cutting/peeling and even storing it. Something a little heavy was put on top of a roll and it caused white dent marks from the pressure where it was slightly pinched. Also, when peeling product back up to readjust during application, it "stretched" or "creased, leaving noticeable white marks.How I remedied the gaps and imperfections made by using this delicate material was to paint match it at my local hardware store who did a wonderful job, and then just spot painted over them. You can see it up close and if you're looking for it, but it blended pretty well and isn't noticeable from afar.As for the durability once installed, it's pretty good and seems like it would clean up well if you spilled on it or something. The adhesion factor was great. It was very sticky, and as long as you go slow should apply well. Also, easy to cut/score with a razor knife.

Pros
  • Offers subtle yet refined decorative tones
Cons
  • The material could be too stiff, leading to difficulty in applying the roll around corners and tight spaces
