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.

Emboldened by your comments, I had another go with just the Bullseye after a vigorous wet sanding. It held up a bit better, and two coats did the job. It’s certainly a relief to be able to avoid the Bin, so thanks for that. It will save me a few hours overall.
I have been taking the doors off and working flat but have been using a brush rather than a roller. The cabinets are cheap ones from B&Q in some kind of hideous wood effect. The new paint job is preventing us from ordering a skip for them. I’ll post a photo of progress when there’s some natural light in the room.

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.
