Hi All.
I've stripped and re varnished my front door. So far I have one coat on the inside and two on the outside.
(No sanding between coats. First coat thinned with turps following instructions so that it soaks into the bare timber)
I'm using a good quality marine grade varnish. >>> My question.
How do you sand between coats?
This may sounds like a stupid question but the manufacturers always recommend sanding between coats...
And I've never been able to sand enamel/oil based paints successfully.
I want to put one more coat on the outside and inside of the door.
So how do you do it? Is the secret the drying time?
The manufacture recommends 24 hours between coats but the varnish is never hard enough after 24 hours.
Thanks for any input in advance.
