Somewhere along the way, furniture-flipping advice became “just use BIN” for practically everything. 🙃
Painting a dresser? BIN.
Worried about stains? BIN.
Not sure what primer to buy? Believe it or not, BIN. 🤪
And listen, BIN works. But can we please stop acting like it’s the only primer on the planet?
It’s $84 a gallon. It stinks. It’s runny. And if you’re spraying it, cleanup is a whole different situation from water-based products.
That’s a lot of inconvenience and expense for something you might not even need.
There are other ways to get great results, including ways to handle stubborn stains without coating an entire dresser in expensive shellac primer.
If you’re flipping furniture to make money, every unnecessary dollar you spend on supplies is a dollar you don’t get to keep.
Knowing where to spend and where to save is how you protect your profit on every flip. Furniture Flipping for Real Life walks you through those decisions, from sourcing to repairs and painting to finishing and selling. It's 154 pages of everything I know. You can find it in my profile. ✨
