How would this process differ, when using the knotty pine interior doors?
@rodivonbarby940 Жыл бұрын
While I haven't tried it myself, I would think you could use the same process on pine doors. Pine is a softer wood sure it is well sealed before glazing or the glaze will soak in and ruin the door.

Great video. How many coats of stain did you you use? At least two coats are needed in most applications but in your detailed steps you outline each phase but didn't provide that extra detail about the staining. Staining is typically two or three coats before moving onto first clear coat. I am building a wine room - with LOTS of knotty alder. T&G knotty alder panels for the ceiling, knotty alder custom framing (both structural and aesthetic) and then knotty alder wine racks. LLOOTTSS of staining.
@rodivonbarby940 Жыл бұрын
Your wine room sounds like it will be beautiful. To answer your question, I only stain once. There is no need for multiple coats of stain assuming you achieve the color you want with one application. The same applies to the glazing step - just one coat of stain wiped clean and allowed to dry before a final coat of urethane. I hope this helps but please let me know if you still have questions or concerns. Thanks for watching!

Question, can you stain it after it is installed. I ordered a door pkg and it is huge!
@rodivonbarby940 2 жыл бұрын
Yes - it will be a bit harder to properly sand between each coat of urethane but otherwise it should be fine. I would only further stress that you carefully follow the pattern for finishing each side as shown in the video.

@rodivonbarby940 3 жыл бұрын
Two thoughts come to mind - I am uncertain as to how uniform the finish may be given the way alder grains are. You may still want to use a prestain conditioner but I'm not sure. Secondly, I think the finish would be very light in color. I am not sure if it would compliment the wood itself or not.

We had to replace an extra wide entry door (48"x 80") to our home and had to custom order a door that would fit the wide opening. We ended up ordering a knotty alder door. I had minimal experience working with stains and felt intimidated by taking on this task. That was until I saw your video carefully detailing the step-by-step process. I purchased all of the same materials including the Java Gel Stain to give the door that final glazed look and wow what a surprise....it even passed my wife's quality control inspection! I am so appreciative of the detailed explanation that you provided. It helped me avoid ruining a custom sized (and very expensive) door. Thank You so much for your guidance!!

Hi Rodi, Thank you so much for a fantastic video. We moved into a home with a Knotty Alder exterior door that has been well abused by the sun and has quite a few splits in the lower portion of the door and the previous home owner switched out the door handles and yes you can see where the old ones are. My initial thought was to replace the door entirely as I could not find any video that gave me hope that I wouldn't cause a further hot mess of the door if I tried to "fix" it! Your video has given me hope! Here is my question, do you have a product that you would suggest me using to fill in the splits? They are not very big, but are there, so maybe they might be less noticeable if I did not try to fill them and let the urethane soak into the splits? I do plan on putting on the extra coat of urethane in the end, so 4 total. Thanks again Rodi!

Hi Pam - I am sorry that I do not have a specific wood filler recommendation. I would imagine that using any good quality wood filler wood do the trick but I am not sure how differently they may take stain. I would look for something that specifically states it can be stained. I wish you well and am confident your door will refinish very nicely! Good luck and maybe you can post a picture or two when you are done. Cheers!
