I have purchased some new doors which have no stain ,do they need a primer first?
Answers:
Depending on what type of wood the doors are, you may want a pre-stain conditioner. If they are a soft wood (pine), I would definately pre-condition them first. Typically the brand stain you purchase will have a pre-conditioner also. It will cost you another $8 or so, but it's worth it. Without it, soft woods don't stain well. If the doors are a hard wood (oak, cherry, maple), you probably don't need to do anything with them first. The staining part is easy. The professional finish will come with the varnish you apply after the staining. Find a good polyurethane or tongue oil finish product to apply after the stain is dry. Follow the directions and be patient. If you really want a professional finish, it will take 3 coats or more, which of course takes a long time. I have found that some water based poly's can also be good, which saves on drying time and the stinky smell, depending on if you have a good ventilated place to do the work. Good luck!
