STAINING A DOOR. How to refinish a door. Door glazing tips.

What happens here

Begin by assessing the condition of the front door and side lights. The current finish is worn off, the stain is bleached in areas, and there is checking (cracking) on the bottom. The overall process will involve sanding, lacquering, glazing with a Sherwin-Williams glaze, and top-coating with a Helmsman water-based urethane. This particular video covers the initial steps up to the first lacquer application.

Goal: Understand the project scope and the door's current state

What they say

Hide

painter this video. We got a front door with some side lightss right here. And this front door, the finish on it is actually completely worn off. There's not much left to it and the stain is bleached out in some areas and we got some checking down on the bottom. And we're going to show you the process of refinishing this front door and then we're going to actually glaze it with a Sherwood Williams glaze and then top coat it with a Helmsman water-based urethane. So, this process of refinishing it, we're going to start off by sanding it, lacquering it, glazing it, and then finishing it with a water-based Helmsman clearane spar urethane. So, stay tuned as we turn this ugly looking door into a really cool looking door.
