Replacing all my kitchen cabinets. Already Built and installed all the carcasses. I’m using these 35 mm hinges to mount the new doors which are 3/4” shaker style solid wood stiles with 1/4” center panels. Mounting on solid alder 3/4” inch face frames. I have a 35 mm boring jig, so the job looks pretty simple.
My question is, if I bore the hinge mounting holes before I apply finish to the doors, will the finish make it difficult to get the hinges in the holes? If I bore the holes after I apply finish of course I run the risk of marking up my finish. For those of you who do this all the time, How do you do it? I’m finishing the doors with two sprayed coats of the finish in the pic.
