• High Quality Oil Based Polyurethane* - Approx. 1 Quart

• (Oil based products are recommended for interior wood veneered doors. Water based

products can raise the grain and cause multiple moisture related problems.)

• White China Bristle Paint Brush

• Painter's Tape

• Sandpaper (Molded Doors 220 & 320 Grit, Wood Flush Doors 100 Grit,

• Wood Panel Doors 150 or 180 Grit)

• Cotton Cloth

• Tack Cloth

• Elastomeric or Polyurethane Caulk (To ensure that the door unit is properly caulked

and all fastener holes are filled.)

*You may substitute an Oil Based Stain/Clear Top Coat 1 Step Product for the Stain and

Polyurethane.

Step #1

Ensure the door unit is properly caulked per installation instructions. If necessary, set

and fill all fastener holes. Ensure all caulking is fully cured before proceeding to the next

step.

Step #2

Remove or mask off all hardware prior to staining.

Step #3

Lightly scuff sand (220 Grit Sandpaper) the door and jamb per above sanding

instructions.

Step #4

Wipe the door with a clean cotton cloth.

Step #5

Apply an oil-based pre-stain wood conditioner to promote uniform stain coverage and

minimize sharp color contrasts that can occur in wood veneer doors. Allow to dry per

manufacturer’s instructions. Note: Make sure all six sides - front, back, edges, top and

bottom - receive the same uniform coverage.
