Ir a lateral
It all started one dark and dreary night a few weeks back.
Okay it wasnt dreary I just liked how that sounded.
This big buffet came up for auction and someone got it.
I wasnt bidding on it and cant remember the price it went for.
Come to find out a friend of ours had tried to bid on it but couldnt go as high as the winning bid.
I was disappointed for her but several days later when we picked up our
auction purchases, the big buffet was still unclaimed.
I let our friend know right away and she returned the following week
to rebid on the piece and win for a much better price.
Now somewhere in all this, the big buffet came to me to spray.
All I was going to do was spend a few hours in the warm sun giving the big beast
a few coats of old white chalk paint. Leigh would do the rest of the work.
Sounds simple huh?

Out of more than a dozen ASCP pieces I have done to date
I have never encountered anything like this or even heard of this happening.
I also just read about a lady painting her fridge in ASCP cream color and it adhered great.
SO what on earth happened here?
The paint started to flake as it dried.
In one small spot and spread like a diseased wildebeest on the Savannah.
Paint was falling to the ground on its own.

first try |
I didnt have time to play around.
 |
second try |
No more fooling around ... I sanded the entire upper cabinet with 80 grit,
It worked!!
Happy Dance?
So I hand sanded the lower cabinet too.
I believe an oil was used on this cabinet, an oil that sits on the surface.
There was no way to know ahead of time as you didnt see or feel anything.
Its like a lottery I suppose, every now and then you will come across
a piece of furniture that has a mysterious product on it that just wont allow chalk paint to adhere.
Doing test patches with your paint will save you time if you think there could be an issue.
Clean your project with something that will cut oil,
I.E. TSP, SOAP AND WATER, HOUSEHOLD SPRAY DEGREASER
Note: nothing was harmed in the making of this project although I did want to throw things.
