Default Spraying vs. Rolling Kitchen Cabinets

Well I stopped out to Home Depot and picked up some of the hotdog
covers and some Penetrol and will give it a go soon. I'm going to
resand everything and try again utilizing those two products.
Hopefully I'll get good results! Too bad they don't make the hotdog
rollers in 1" or 2" lengths for doing the framework of the cabinets.
It's a pain to use the 4" rollers because of overroll (I hope that's
the roller's version of overspray).

I did do a test roll with the hotdog roller and some Penetrol mixed
with the paint and it seems like the paint takes much longer to dry.
Does anyone recommend using some Japan Drier as well to counteract
this or is it a desirable effect since the paint will have more time
to level? The downfall to this longer drying time is dust and small
hair particles...

Thanks for all the help!


Don't worry about dry time. Worry about cure.

FWIW, how heavy did you apply the test coat?
