Q:I did 2 coats on clean, new laminate cabinets and let it cure for over a week but it still scrapes off easily with a fingernail. What am I doing wrong? Does it just need a top coat of cabinet enamel? Or will that peel, too?

Answer This Question
A: Happy to clear things up! For full durability, Rust-Oleum Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 Water-Based Primer must be topcoated with an opaque topcoat. Since the primer has fully cured, which takes 7 days in ideal conditions, you will need to either lightly sand the primer or apply a new coat. This will ensure your topcoat fully adheres to the primer.
