One of the items was refreshing the front doors with a Western exposure that have taken a beating from the sun. Poly finish was dull and wood damage was minimal. The doors are massive and I did not want to take them down and client was paranoid about even having them open. I was able to lightly sand the dull poly taking care not to sand into the stained finish and after googling finishing options I elected to apply a UV protected spar urethane finish diluted 50% with Mineral Spirits wiped on with a lint free blue shop paper towel. Before and after photos after application of 6 coats re-sanding only after coat 4. I did not even take off the Baldwin locksets. Instead of masking them off I elected coat them with poly as well as they were dull and the finish restored them to new condition. Client was thrilled with the results.




Wow! Amazing work!!!
