September 2026 formulation
TuffCab manufactured from September 2026 uses a new formulation: tougher, faster curing and with improved bonding, while keeping straightforward application and the familiar textured finish.
When matching or touching up older cabinets, allow for possible differences in colour, sheen and texture.
Features
Apply with a textured roller for the traditional TuffCab finish.
Vary the roller and application technique to achieve different textures.
Suitable for plywood, MDF and other timber cabinet construction.
Water-based and straightforward to apply.
Minor knocks and scratches can be touched up.
Coverage
As a guide, a 5L tin covers approximately:
28–30m² with one coat on bare hardwood plywood.
18–20m² of finished surface with two coats.
Up to 60m² with one refresher coat on sound, previously painted, dry cabinets.
Bare MDF, plywood and other absorbent timber surfaces normally require at least two coats. The first coat generally uses more paint; subsequent coats help produce an even texture and finish. When refurbishing cabinets with a sound existing painted surface, a single coat may be sufficient to refresh the finish.
These figures are based on textured-roller application. Coverage varies with colour, surface absorbency, texture and application thickness; lighter colours may need additional coats.
