This is helpful. I just tried to paint a piece of plywood that is cabinet grade. Has a shiny finish and it didn't stick in all the places. I had only lightly scuffed the surface. But the edges are where it didn't stick. Probably where I didn't sand well.
I think the packaging should have the correct instructions on it. Your other UA-cam from three years ago says that you should add much less of the bonding agent to it. The actual instructions on the package say that "add one part bonding agent to one part premixed milk paint" - so what that means is if you made 1/2 cup of milk paint mixed - you should add 1/2 cup of bonding agent. What this video says is you need to add equal parts bonding agent, milk paint and water. Your instructions should read. "Mix your milk paint using equal parts milk paint and water. After you have mixed your milk paint, add the same amount of bonding agent that you used for the milk paint and water. I now have 2 times the bonding agent that I need after following the instructions.
Question for you. Someone I know used primer on kitchen cabinets and then they painted with milk paint as opposed to using the bonding agent. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.
Works too! The bonding saves a step but the primer on kitchen cabinets for blocking stains and staying power, the primer is great and you can then also add the bonding agent if you wanted extra protection.
