Waterborne Lacquer Edge Soak/ Hot water demo

2 days post-cure on a valance and maple cabinet door from a project done in the Orchard recently to demonstrate the toughness/edge soak and adhesion of waterborne lacquer.

Primer :Akvasurf Topcoat: 50 Sheen Akvatopp Acromapro.

Anyone still using post-cat nitro is taking unnecessary risks and exposing themselves to formaldehyde and bad mek solvent vapour.

Waterborne Lacquer is hands-down, the best !!!

Some Testimonials...

" 2 yrs later, our cabinets still look as good as they day they

were finished by ColorScapes"

P. Dal Bello, Guelph,ON

"From a resale standpoint, cabinets that require refinishing help the homeowner get maximum resale value, so glad we chose to do it"

The Barber Family, Ajax,On

"We tried another overly expensive cabinet company with a fancy gallery and it wasn't near as good as Colorscapes,

We've recommended them several times over..."

S. Carney, Binbrook,On

Thanks so much Steve, we've seen alot of amateurs jump into the refinishing market without understanding the level of effort and expertise required, if they don't have ML Campbell or AcromaPro/Target training, they should not be touching anyone's kitchen in our opinion. This is not a trade for someone with no formal lacquer manufacturer approved applicator training.

The one at our residence AND, the one at our

vacation home"

"Unbelievable, this guy Barry.. he works all day long and never takes a lunch break!. Phenomenal ideas and amazing with

even a reversing backcut saw, which is something you don't

see much in the young flash and dash trades...sometimes

a mitre saw on site is nothing but a sawdust mess maker....might be fast cuts but are they tight and gap free ? "
