Prep Essentials for Beautiful Long Lasting Furniture Finishes

Before you begin painting your furniture, the right preparation makes all the difference. This collection includes everything I personally use in my studio to clean, repair, prime and prepare furniture for a smooth professional finish.

Whether you are working with Fusion Mineral Paint, milk paint or tackling a more detailed refinishing project, these prep essentials will help you get the best results. Good prep means better adhesion, better coverage and a far more durable finish.

What You Will Find Here

Cleaners and Degreasers
A clean surface is the foundation of a great finish. You’ll find TSP alternative and other gentle cleaning products that remove grime, grease and residue without harsh chemicals.

Primers and Bonding Agents
For tricky surfaces like laminate, glossy finishes or heavily stained wood. These products help your paint adhere properly and prevent bleed through or discolouration.

Sandpapers and Abrasives
From light scuff sanding to heavier prep work, these will help you smooth your piece and create the perfect surface for paint.

Applicators and Tools
Everything from microfibre rollers to sanding pads, blocks, paint applicators and more. These tools are the same ones I use during my commission work and workshops.

Aprons and Studio Essentials
Stay comfortable and protected while you work with aprons, gloves and other practical items I recommend for every furniture painter.

If you are unsure which prep products you need for your project, I am always happy to help and offer personalised advice.
