What happens here

After applying the first coat of stain to the frames and clear coat to the doors, you may find the desired color or finish has not been achieved. In this video, the initial brown stain on the frames was not dark enough, and the clear poly on the doors resulted in an unintended look. If this happens, you will need to re-sand all surfaces that did not meet expectations back to bare wood. Use your random orbital sander with 120-grit, then 220-grit sandpaper, ensuring all previous stain and poly is completely removed. Pay particular attention to any drips or inconsistencies, especially on the edges of the doors, using finer grit or hand-sanding as needed.

Goal: Adjust the finishing strategy by re-sanding surfaces that did not achieve the desired color or look.
