The prep was insane. Deglossing, sanding, cleaning, priming, painting, sanding some more, painting some more and it took WEEKS for it all to dry. It was such a drawn out process.
Recently I was introduced to a revolutionary product that I wish I’d had way back then – Oil Bond. As soon as I read all the details and read the customer reviews, I knew I had to share it with you.
Oil Bond is a specially engineered paint additive that makes tackling paint jobs like those pesky kitchen cabinets a whole lot easier, and a whole lot quicker. Oil Bond is specifically designed to help latex paint stick to glossy surfaces (think your standard wood kitchen cabinets – it won’t work well with laminate). Oil Bond takes the place of stinky cleaning surfactants, deglossing agents as well as primer, allowing your regular latex paint to properly adhere to glossy surfaces. You know what that means, right? You no longer have to spend hours upon hours cleaning, sanding or priming! Hallelujah! Plus, It’s water-based and low VOC so you can feel safe using it in your home.
I know what you’re thinking. This product must come with a hefty price tag. Not so! A 32oz container is only $14.98. Now, that’s my kind of price point. So not only are you saving time but you’ve just saved the cost of all that sandpaper and primer too which could easily run to $100 or more.
Don’t have kitchen cabinets to paint? I bet you’ve got some furniture that you’ve been dying to give a fresh new makeover to! This revolutionary product will make sure you have perfect results every time. These furniture painting tips from The Idaho Painter will also really help:
Has that piqued your interest? Yeah, mine too! On top of that, This Old House named Oil Bond one of their Top 100 New Building Products.

I’m so excited to finally have found a product that will make your kitchen cabinet painting efforts quicker and more effective. If you decide to try this product I’d love to hear your feedback on it! It’s not every day that I come across something that I think will truly benefit so many of you, so I’d love to know how it worked out for you.
If you’re ever planning on painting your kitchen cabinets or furniture…or anything else (!) be sure to pin this for later!
I painted my cabinets about 7 years ago. I ALWAYS use high end paint! I have the Advanced from Ben Moore, so thank you for reinforcing that decision, as I was on your other post about the best paint to use. My cabinets are in need of a touch up around edges where there’s the most wear from fingernails and touching. Do you still recommend this Oil Bond product? I am just not sure what the best way forward is when the cabinets need touching up. Do I need to repaint all of the doors again? I want the same sleek mat finish I currently have, but again, I painted these several years ago.
Hi Tammy, if you’re just touching up where you used an Alkyd paint (BM Advanced) then I would just sand the area where there’s touching up needed to ensure it’s level then paint over it. The oil bond can be used as a deglosser but since you have damage, you’re really going to need to sand the area a bit just to get it smooth more than anything. I hope that helps!
hi Jenna, can this be used over polyurethane
Hi Heidi – I’m not sure to be honest. Over enamel paint, yes (that has poly in it) but directly over it, I’m not sure! I would imagine it should, though!
If using the Oil Bond, do you still use a top of the line paint?
I would always use a good quality paint. I think using something like Ben Moore’s Advanced lined in conjunction with the Oil Bond would be overkill though. Just a good quality latex is fine.
Hi jenna, I am not only wanting to paint my cabinets but my table and chairs also they are solid wood. so it should be the same as cabinets right?? I am going to leave the top of the table wood and the seat of the chair wood and pint the rest of it the base and the legs. thanks for input
Hi, I see that this is an ad for a product. Have you actually used the product on your cabinets? I am painting mine this week and this sounds great but I want make sure that it works the way it says it does. Thanks so much :)
Hi Summer – I’m using it to paint my doors right now and it’s awesome. I know a lot of others that have used it on wood panelling and cabinets and loved it, too! I suggest reading the comments on the Home Depot website – all the reviews are great!
Wil this work on mobile home cabinets they have that paper on them!
Hi Rose, I don’t think so. It’s for proper adhesion to woooden cabinets.
Thanks for the great tip! I really want to paint our kitchen cabinets, but with three little ones, all that work seems like way too much. I was considering chalk paint, but I’m going to look into this product as well.
I am going to send this to a friend. She wants to paint her cabinets and was wondering how to do it well, but without weeks of work. Thanks for posting, Jenna!
Glad to be of help! It’s an exciting product!
