Step by Step Instructions to Refacing


Stiles

  • Apply self-adhesive covering (SAC) to cabinet face frames.  DO ONE OPENING AT A TIME.  Start with the stiles.  Peel back just enough backing from the top of the strip to anchor the strip to the face frame.  Make sure the top edge of the strip is flush and square with the top of the stile (11).  Then press and lightly smooth downward, peeling the backing off as you go.  (Be careful to get it lined up right the first time, because the special adhesive makes it very difficult to get off!)
  • Repeat above on the other stile.

Rails

  • Peel back just enough backing from one end of SAC and position it to overlap the left and right stiles by 1".  Align the strip so that there's an even overlap on top and bottom rail.  Then press and lightly smooth left to right, peeling the backing off as you go (12)
