Best clear exterior finish for oak door facing south?
I just purchased a new front door which is not installed yet. I did not have a clear varnish applied because I was concerned about exposure to sun and moisture (rarely direct rain, but fog and normal coastal moisture) particularly to the bottom third of the door. Because of its size, weight, and cost I don’t want to take it off and refinish any time in the future.
I’m thinking of applying exterior tung oil to the outside and satin Varathane to the inside. I’m assuming I will reapply the tung oil every year or so.
How about tung oil on inside as well? Is marine varnish appropriate?
Recommendations?
