Got the grease off with sugar soap then a wet sand with wet and dry. The Bullseye still slid off. I thought about using a shellac clear coat instead of the 123 as the 123 is such a bastard to work with, but I already had the 123. What etching liquid would you recommend? I still have five to do.
Sharkstar-
I've used this one with some success but you might have a particularly difficult surface.
Have you made sure you are stirring the 123. There is also a new 123+ which is a tiny bit more sticky and opaque. You need to stir it regularly though.
If it's doors you're doing it's good to get them off the cabinets and paint them laid flat with a small foam (or similar) roller.

Best to degrease everything with a degreasing spray and then possibly a liquid that lightly etches the surface to make the first coat easier (deglossing spray). Painting kitchens is a bitch though.
