How to Refinish Wood Entry Door: Best Products
What are the best products to use on the exterior of your wood entry doors or garage doors? My advice is Sikkens. Sikkens makes a great 3-part system:
- Part 1: Stain, Part 2: Stain/Varnish Combo, Part 3: Topcoat (you can choose from satin or gloss finish)(my favorite: satin finish)
Best tip: apply in thin coats, while keeping checking back every few hours. Patience is your friend.
