Me: I'm flunking "Staining Doors 101". Ugh. :-/

Started the project of staining our 9 interior doors today. It's been frustrating! I'm trying to match the stain on an existing door (harder than I thought), I used the wrong "base" on the first door (water base instead of oil) and the brush I used was bad. Changed our method for the 2nd door and it failed miserably. The doors were coming out streaky. 3rd door was better but not right. Plus working in the garage all day when it's 114 degrees wore me down. I'm beat. Still don't know the solution to make the already stained doors ok or how to make the future doors good. Suggestions?

  1. I would ask Harley...she looks like she is trying to tell you something....114 temp would do me immediately. Sorry I don't have any suggestions...is the door you are trying to match standing...if so the one laying down looks like the same color!!
