Rant: Should you really paint kitchen cabinets without sanding first?
My buddy Tom said he used a liquid deglosser on his oak cabinets last weekend, skipped the sanding, and they look great. I swear by at least 220-grit sanding before primer, so which side is cutting corners and which is actually fine?

Back @robinson.hannah on this one - deglosser is basically liquid sandpaper if you prep right. A good clean with TSP first, apply the deglosser, and you're usually fine for most painted finishes. Skip the 220 grit and save your elbow grease, just make sure you're using a quality primer and it'll bond better than you think.
