sticky situations

Fun and games in the kitchen. Everything is going well or so it seems. I finally removed the end cupboard and was amazed by how much space I now have to play with. As soon as it went the wall was painted. But my next challange would be to paint a new bookcase which would be going into the corner. Just by feeling the material they used to make the case I knew I would be encountering some serious problems. First coat, yeah might be pushing it. Second coat, geee it's being stubborn. Third coat, yay it's finally working properly and looks like what I wanted it to be.

Well after letting it dry for a little while and trying to clean the house up before a friend came over on the weekend, I decided to store things in it and see how everything would work. Well the normal sound I would hear would be when you take something off a sticky surface. With a few items this wasn't too bad until I reached the cardboard box of a microwave popcorn packet. Up comes the paint, groan. Well I have to way up my options and probably have to redo the bookshelf, this time if I can find an undercoat that sticks to it, or I'll be using laminate or both.
