- Hi David Klappenberger with Klappenberger & Son and today we're going to take a look at no other than Benjamin Moore's in Insl-Xt cabinet coat satin finish paint for this is ideal for wood finishes, vanities, kitchen cabinets, built ins. Anytime you want nice durable finish this paint will do, do you Well, it's a urethane finish so it's going to have some good wash stability and durability I want to talk about that in a second. First, I always like to start off about the coverage. This board here, bare wood, I put a shellac primer on it to finish coats and it covered very well covered fine over dark surfaces like a dark blue and put two coats and the Cabinet coat paint and it covered about 98% If you were selling at home, you could probably pass with that but if you're going to want to really take a good close look at it, it's going to need three coats doesn't cover quite as good as Benjamin Moore advanced, it's a little advanced is a little bit thicker. This is a little thinner. One of the advantages of this paint though is dries very quickly. The 30 minutes can plenty time to work with it. Once you're done working with it, it begins to set up and it'll be ready for a topcoat fairly quickly. Alright, watch ability durability is very important on this board that you're looking at this very board. I put a shellac primer to finish coats. After it had 30 days to cure. I wanted to give it more time than it needed, probably cures in about seven days. I went olive oil on it. Why would I waste olive oil on it because typically when the pink kitchen cabinets were when you have kitchen cabinets we have oily dirty fingers whether from mayonnaise or whatever we touch our kitchen cabinets and some of that oils get transferred onto the paint. It eventually soaks through the paint and breaks the adhesion between the top coats and the primer and I've reviewed about 12 other paints some of the work some of them though, you can see who has the best kitchen cabinet paint and kitchen cabinet paint part two to get more information on those paints but with this kitchen cabinet with the kitchen with the cabinet coat paint by Benjamin Moore. I wipe olive oil on it and let it sit for two months. And then I put on ketchup mustard, pencil and coffee, let it dry on there and clean it was Simple Green and sprayed and I got all the stains removed and when I went to scratch it it didn't come off the areas where they had oil olive oil on there doesn't scratch off it nothing's scratched off. It's a beat as the looks brand new. The stains are all all it looks fantastic. So, what is my conclusion? Insl-Xt cabinet coat is a great paint to use for built-in cabinets; vanities highly recommend it dries quickly. coverages average wash stability, durability, outstanding at just outstanding. The sheen on the paint is probably not the shiniest satin finish I've seen it's a little bit on the dollar and a sheen but I love this paint. I've used it on my own kitchen kid cabinets a couple years ago they came out fantastic but I haven't used it with other with customers. If you had the opportunity to get it and retails for this is a quart of course, but a gallon retails for $63 at the Home Depot store. Maybe you can get a better deal on that at a Benjamin Moore store. Good luck to you guys, folks. Thanks for watching. If you like this gives us a thumbs up subscribe. I look forward to seeing you on the next one. Take care.

Excellent review !! This helped me make my decision!!!!
I have used this and a two part conversion varnish and to be honest, there is no difference. This stuff is bullet proof.
I spray it using a Fuji Q5 HVLP system.
This has been my go-to paint for all my woodworking. BM dealers do not do a good job at pushing this paint and instead they push the more DIY friendly Advance. For the pro, this is the better product IMO.
One of the great things about this paint is that, unlike PPG Breakthrough, they didn't remove the urethane when they lowered the VOC. This is why its still ultra durable when Breakthrough 50 VOC is falling apart. It has the shine and durability of Advance without the ridiculously long cure times -- and the darker colors in Advance almost never fully cure whereas the acrylic urethanes in Cabinet Coat dry pretty quick.
About to use this paint on my cabinets! Wish me luck!
I used this paint in a semi gloss on an entire set of cabinets for a client 1 year ago. They were wood cabinets so i had to prime first with Zinsser Coverstain. This paint when dried and cured is awesome. Very very durable with a hard coat finish. Unfortunately the only complaint for me is when using a brush on vertical surfaces. I do not spray and only brush and roll. When using a brush "Prurdy Nylox" i had major issues with sagging and running. I put it on in 2 thin coats and it still sagged everywhere big time. I had to go back a fix it over and over. When i used a 3/16 mini roller it did just fine and wouldn't sag at all. It was so frustrating to use with a brush because of the sagging and running. I wanted to love this paint so much, and i did for the durability and hardness. It had a great finish. Unfortunately i had such a bad experience brushing it on the vertical surfaces that i can't use it again 😭
Thanks for that info. I just brushed some doors and trim with Insl-x and did not have any issues with drips, splatters, or runs. Maybe they have adjusted the formula since last time you used it.
ty for this update!! great timing as this was just recommended to me and I’m going to be using it on a lot of vertical surface, so the prior reply was about ready to discourage me from using it at all 😅
Love it. Make sure to do two coats for a true color. Also works great and can be matche to any of the Benjamin Moore colors. We end up using vintage Vogue it's a dark green looks amazing with cabinet coat two coats. Drys in 2 hours or less. Love this product in semigloss too
Does it look like lacquer after
Does it cover grain?
How did you apply it? Is it possible to use HLVP to spray it or will a micro fiber mini roller do just a well. The thing with is the paint it is harder than the Advance paint plus it dries for recoat in 6 hours. Cabinet Coat tested at 2B where Advance was 6B in the Wolff-Wilborn test.
Thank you for the review, I plan to use it on on the new cabinets that I'm building. I wonder if you could recommend a good quality brush for cabinets? Thanks again, Jake
I watched your other cabinet reviews as well, definitely helpful! So how does this stack up compared to your other cabinet recommendations? I had considered BM Advance, but I was reading this actually hardens more, and as you point out, great at deflecting stains and oils. Seems like a winner, I don’t understand why there are such negative Nancy reviews on it? Also, I was curious did you have a primer recommendation? I’m working on wood trim with a darker stain, and also the honey-oak style cabinets with what seems like a thick varnish on them. Going for the lighter Alabaster and grey colors. Considering INSL-X STIX, or Smart Prime if it holds. If not, I’ll have to go with BIN or maybe a BM Fresh Start oil primer. I wonder if Cabinet Coat is good at blocking tannin bleed through?
Why would a DYI person with old beat up wood cabinets use BM Advance with the 16 hour dry time if he could use Insl-X Cabinet Coat Satin with short time and get on with his life?
If you spray, you're 100% correct.
Thank you for the great reviews. Would you choose Cabinet Coat or Command for kitchen cabinets?
Sorry for the delay. I would choose Cabinet Coat over Command unless I was trying to finish a job asap. Cabinet coat takes about 4 hours longer between coats.
That's interesting. Is "ever never ever" a triple negative. What do you like to use on kitchen cabinets?
Hahaha I am more on the brush and roll side of painting. I don't like spraying and this product is more on the side of spray application. I've had issues on different substrates with this product drying to fast though I do like the finish. I use Benjamin Moore's advanced and Oil Impervo. I don't get into cabinets too much anymore Because products have changed so much over the years with the VOC.
Laws. I do value your knowledge of products and appreciate all the work you put in for your channel.
Thanks for this review. I have used the Advance product but you are so right. Recoat and dry time is ridiculous. It lays very flat though and silky smooth even after using a brush. How does the Cabinet coat lay down with brush? Smooth like Advance or does it tend to get a little textured? I do appreciate your feedback on this product. Also, I can't find it at Home Depot. Where do you get it at Home Depot?
Ben Moore stores sell and some independent stores as well.
Yes, that is where I purchase Advance. Thank you for responding.
Does it roll without micro bubbling? I love BJM command but it micro bubbles when rolled with any mini roller, I've tried 12 different types, I only dont get bubbles in 4x base colors. Had the same issues with Scuff-X from time to time. Dont like advance because of dry time. Sprayed cabinet coat on 1 job a long time ago and it ran like crazy, probably wasn't used to it, but I've yet to roll any. Interested if you rolled any and how it turned out?
I don't ever roll Advance or Command. If I did, I would also backbrush.
Used to be a solid product but evidently quality control is no longer a concern for the manufacturer. In the last 2 years I've purchased several defective gallons that sprayed unevenly with pits and micro bubbles. In comparison, Sherwin Williams' Emerald urethane performs much better and it levels off nicely like paint should when it's sprayed correctly. It's also smoother when brushed/rolled. Don't waste your money and time with Cabinet Coat... it's pure garbage.
Funny, I've had the same problem you described with Emerald urethane but no problem with Cabinet Coat.
I use a Fuji Q5 HVLP to apply the paint, so equipment is not the issue.
I absolutely hate this stuff. Do not want to ever, never, ever use it again.
