My bread and butter used to be hand painting MDF cabinets. One day i decided to try BIN as the primer. I wanted something that wouldn't raise the grain. The bookcase was 5m long and 2.m tall.
Applying the BIN evenly was virtually impossible so I decided to roll it rather than use my Anza paint pads. At the time I wasn't too worried about the orange peel effect, I planned to sand it back. I massively underestimated how much harder BIN is than WB primer. What would have taken 2 days to sand flat if I had used WB ended up taking 4 days.
That was the one and only time I used BIN as a primer for cabinets.
Zinsser recommend using Bulls Eye see page 19 http://www.zinsserdirect.co.uk/zinsser/pdf/pocket.pdf
