Good to see you back mate. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Greetings from a Portuguese painter in Germany. 😉

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi I appreciate your kind words! What kind of painting do you specialize in? Russ

[@farbraum-innenausbau]

@@RussOlinatzPaintShow usually I spray paint most of my Jobs. I own a few Graco Sprayers, because they make Jobs easier. 😉

That turned out well, never used the min wax gel stain before I have to try it never had success with any other stains in the past.

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Burt- Thank you! What have you been using? Russ

[@BurtBowers]

@@RussOlinatzPaintShow Hello Russ, I have used much min wax oil stains as well Varathane oil stains & their basic stains tried them all & would never leave a nice look always looked like brush marks when bar top dried so I used rags or pads to apply & would still show brush lines, I had to sand down the bar top many times & try again so I wound up doing best I can with rag & lived with it, I wanted to use a clear coat resin on it after the stain but didnt want to take the chance of ruining my bar top being it may have left brush lines in the resin as well even if I used rag or a pad, I will try your method sometime in the future using the gel may give me way better results, thanks for the posting of this recent video that door came out excellent👍

Great Work buddy....I was wondering if you were going to put the poly on the door....but I found this other video " Part 2 "....nice work indeed...

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Thank you!

You're the best. May my GOD bless you buddy. 🕍🤙😃

[@boogie1014]

And might I suggest the folding 4’ long table. As a fellow painter… I can’t bend over no more lol 😂 to pick up supplies. It folds and half and has adjustable legs. I also use a fan heater to help me with door drying. Your amazing thanks for sharing

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Tahj Yes I will look into that. Thank you for your suggestion! Russ

[@fereidoondelfanian9102]

Great work! I have a Therma tru fiberglass door that I need to be re-stain. Can I use Minwax Gel stain, semi transparent? Thank you!

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Thank you! Yes you can! Russ

[@sakoss01]

Thank you for your amazing video! Im going to try the strip and restain as my door started peeling. Its only 3 years old but not sure if it was done right to begin with. Do you still like the products you used in the video or have any new brands you like better?

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Thank you! Check with the door manufacturer to see what they recommend.

[@bethdavis6629]

Beautiful finish. I also have a therma tru fiberglass door and after the polyurethane dried it left a milky white finish. I was very disappointed. Wondering if it had to do with the temperature. May have been to cold so I’m going to try again. Thanks for posting this video very helpful.

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Beth Thanks a lot! Did you use a water based Polyurethane? Russ

[@ericglessner6636]

Hiw long until you can close the door so it doesn't stick to the weather stripping?

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Eric After the poly has dried, give it a few days. Did u already start? Russ

[@laurachristine1152]

Did you also stain and seal the other side of the door?

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Laura Did you mean the other side of the same door? Russ

[@laurachristine1152]

Yes, the interior side of the same door. ☺

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

@@laurachristine1152 No, that is painted white! I do a separate video series with the door on the right. Russ

[@tribulationprepper787]

I would imagine that using an LVLP spray gun with that Varathane would result in a frothy, bubbly mess.

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi- I always use a brush to apply, but that is an art to spray properly! Russ

[@RussOlinatzPaintShow]

Hi Don- Can you post your comment again on my new video without the link? It didn’t show up. Thanks Russ

[@tribulationprepper787]

@@RussOlinatzPaintShow It looks like the YT censorship bots are at it again. My comment is no longer there. I will try and recreate it without the link to the spray gun kit I purchased.
