Home Improvement Projects

Black pressed wood glossy bookcase 2 black shelves of the same material Finished and drying. Here is what happens if you don't prime -- paint dries but does not adhere to surface so it peels off. More peeling. Obviously this is not going well. Back to Home Depot. New instructions: lightly sand all surfaces with 400 grit sandpaper. All the paint has been peeled off and all surfaces have been lightly sanded. Note that Home Depot acknowledged the mistake and provided a quart of primer and a gallon of red paint at no cost. Newspapers placed on floor to prevent damage. Pavers will raise the book case off the floor so paint will not stick to newspaper. Bookcase placed on pavers and ready to paint. Close up of book case on pavers. Book case painted with primer. Shelves will be placed on pavers. Also to prevent wet paint from sticking to newspaper. Wash brush with water and hang so it can drip dry. Shelf primed with grey and painted with red. Drying on pavers. Glossy red paint prepared by Home Depot with primer in the paint (so no need to prime any of the surfaces.)
