Restoration Tips For Wooden Screen Door
Screen Door Pictures I have a an old wooden screen door from our covered front porch that has seen some better days. I'd like to refinish the thing but I'm not sure where to start with it because the door isn't exactly uniform in wood quality. The majority of the top of the door and inside of the door is excellent but some parts where the varnish has worn off are dry (not punky or rotted feeling). Normally I'd sand it down and reapply a stain and poly but with how uneven the dryness of the wood is, I'm not sure if this is the right process. Is there some sort of treatment I should do before sanding or after sanding but before the stain application (link to pictures of door are at the top of the post)? If you have other tips for getting a uniform, or close to uniform looking finish, I'd love to hear that too. submitted by /u/atothesquiz [link] [comments]
