| 1. All surfaces are machine and hand
sanded with 100 grit sandpaper progressing to and finishing
with 220 grit sandpaper to ensure a smooth consistent
finished product. |
| 2. All dust particles are mechanically
removed after completion of the sanding operations. |
| 3. Pre-Stains are applied evenly to
minimize wood color variation and to provide base color
uniformity. |
| 4. A specially formulated penetrating
stain is evenly hand sprayed to enhance the natural beauty
and characteristics of the wood. |
| 5. The stained surfaces are next hand
wiped or brushed with a soft china bristle brush to remove
the excess stain and to provide complete penetration of
the stain into the pores of the wood. |
| 6. All stained products then undergo
a slow drying process to complete the stain penetration
process bringing out the beauty and character of the wood. |
| 7. A specially designed non-yellowing
chemical resistant sealer is then applied to provide maximum
protection to the stained surfaces. |
| 8. Sealed products are then placed
in a pre-cure oven at ambient temperatures to slowly begin
the drying process. Next the products are placed in high
velocity ovens. The products are baked at 175 degrees
to ensure a complete cure throughout. |
| 9. All sealed surfaces are then hand
sanded with ultra fine sandpaper to provide a smooth consistent
surface. |
| 10. The sealer sanding dust particles
are removed with pressurized air and with a special designed
dust removal cloth. Finally all products are quality inspected
for cleanliness and smoothness prior to the first topcoat
application. |
| 11. A Catalyzed Varnish manufactured
with the highest quality clear resin available is then
applied, This unique product also contains UV inhibitors
to prevent yellowing of the wood. |
| 12. The Varnished products are then
allowed to pre-cure at ambient temperatures to ensure
maximum flow that provides the highest quality finish. |
| 13. Products are then placed into a
high velocity oven producing 170-degree temperatures that
provide a baked on finish. |
| 14. All surfaces are once again sanded
with ultra fine grit sandpaper providing a smooth consistent
surface. |
| 15. Final sanding dust removal is performed
to ensure the surface is clean and ready to accept final
topcoat application. |
| 16. A second coat of Catalyzed Varnish
is applied. This additional coat insures the cabinets'
multi-step finish is resistant to most household chemicals,
every day wear and tear, moisture, and exceeds all KCMA
certification' requirements. |
| 17. The final topcoat is allowed to
pre-cure in a dust free chamber followed by a slow bake
oven. The high temperature oven is designed to provide
a smooth, clean, baked on finish. |
