I have been remodeling the kitchen in our rental house. The house was built in the 30s and last remodeled in the 60s. Typical 60s particle board drawers and shelves, birch plywood cabinet doors and drawer fronts that someone along the way lathered something like oil based Varathane on. Ugh! That crap is a lot like the original Herculon (sp?) upholstery material - indestructible but far from comfortable for most. Add fifty years of cooking oils and dirt and nothing will stick to it. Almost nothing…….
I found a product (new to me) made by PPG called “Breakthrough” that looks like it will work really well. It sticks to most anything, is self sealing, self priming and levels well not matter how you apply it. Even in these less than ideal temperature and humidity conditions it dries to handle or re-coat in an hour or two and it sets up to a rock hard finish in a day or so. Full cure seems to be around two weeks. After a day it is hard to penetrate with a finger nail and once fully cured is a lot like a ceramic finish. They say it will work over both the rigid and the flexible laminate materials used in many of our coaches. I have not tried in in those applications myself, but based on what I am seeing used over ugly old Varathane I think it is well worth trying if you want to lighten up your interior. The white base it tintable so color choice is up to you. Try it in an inconspicuous place first and let it sit up for a couple of days before making a final judgment. You will not find it at the local big box stores, so go to a PPG paint dealer. Not overly expensive either. My PPG store used it on their warehouse floors with great success. Wont stand hot tire pickup, but handles fork lift truck tires with ease.
