    Always lightly sand, steel wool on curved surfaces. Your objective is slighty dull the previous polyurethane. Do not sand into the stain coat. General Finishes gel stain is very good, Old Masters so so, not sure about Miniwax gel stain. It might have been better to stain worn areas than repeat whole door in 24 hours. Exterior polyurethane with uv protectants 3 coats either satin or semi gloss a must.

    My door is a stainable fiberglass and, like yours, it has faded very badly at the bottom half. When I stained it, 22 years ago, I also applied a coat of polyurethane on it. I have been wanting to restain it, but I wonder if I need to strip the polyurethane that is still at the top half before I do that. What should I do? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    • @carollander2515
      @carollander2515 3 роки тому

      I have never used a polyurethane. Rather than strip the poly, I would give it a light sanding. Then wipe down to remove all dust before applying 2 coats of the Gel Stain and 2 coats of the Matte Sealer.

      @@carollander2515 Thanks for your response. Here's what I did to the door today. I sprayed some Awesome (the brand) cleaner and sprayed the entire door with it. You should've seen how the old stain came off when I wiped it! It almost stripped it all off except for the top part of the door. That stuff is powerful! Then I sanded the parts where the polyurethane hung on and tomorrow I'll try to stain it. I noticed in your video that you put the stain on and didn't wipe it off? Just let it dry on the door?

      That’s correct. Now, if your door is not in good condition, a light sanding first would smooth out any rough places.
