I painted my kitchen cabinets which one we bought the house they said was fairly new and it was painted over God knows what plywood and then painted like it had a wood texture. it was much too dark for tiny kitchen so I painted the upper cabinets in a white oil-based paint and they are fine. Other than a couple of chips from somebody slamming stuff into them, they are washable and still look beautiful and this is over 20 years ago. I got lazy because I was pregnant and did the bottom cabinets with the same color but in latex paint. It is still tacky! When I say tacky, it's disgusting to touch any harder to clean because it takes some of the latex and peels it back. I am in no financial position to place my kitchen cabinets and I need to get this latex stuff off of them. I even use my fingernail when I'm sitting here watching TV in my kitchen and peel what I can peel. What can I do to get this crap off of the cabinets and then prepare them for another painting with oil paint? Strip them with a citrus based stripper. If the latex never bonded in the first place, it'll come off real easy. Depending on how much is stripped off, you can prime with an oil based primer or use Benjamin Moore Advance Primer. If you aren't sure which, take a door with you to a local independent paint store that carries Benjamin More paints. Paint with Benjamin Moore Advance paint. Great stuff. Takes a little longer to cure than other paints, but it cures really hard and durable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=areCvMJMhO8 |

Just a touch of grease will prevent latex from sticking - an oil pase paint can absorb a small amount of grease/oil and still cure |
