So the main reason it's not done normally is that the poly over paint process can take more than a week if not up to a month. Especially if you use acrylic or enamel cabinet paint. That takes weeks to fully dry and stop off-gassing. Typically poly is used over bare wood, not painted wood.

That makes sense! The original paint we wanted was the BM Advance since most kitchen cabinet how-tos recommended it, but Ace was all out. Regal Select was the next option the guy at the store recommended to my wife. I'm not sure how acrylic compares to enamel or alkyd based paint which is why we were considering poly.
