Builder Cabinet Upgrade. MAKE IT EASY with precut project boards.
Frame out your builder cabinets with minimal power tools. By using pre-cut Poplar Boards you are guaranteed evenly sized trim pieces, that don’t require a tablesaw to trim down to size. Once measured for your cabinets the boards can also be cut with a simple handsaw. No miter or bevel cuts are needed. You can also attach boards with liquid nails and eliminate the need for a nail gun. You can get an ultra smooth finish by, prepping your pieces with a good sanding and priming with a high-quality primer. Finally, using a high-quality cabinet paint with an extended leveling time can give you a picture perfect finish with the help of a dense foam roller. A. Measure, cut and glue your trim pieces • B. Sand your pieces with sequential higher grit sandpaper (120-220-340) • C. Wipe
