Hi All
I need some advice regarding re-finishing my Oak front door.
The door is only a few years old and was finished with boiled linseed oil. It looked fantastic when first done, but it just cannot stand up to the weather despite having been re-done. The threshold step suffers really badly. So I have decided to re-finish the door with something that will stand up better to the weather and sunlight.
My questions are what should I finish the door with and what preparation is required given that the door was previously treated with boiled linseed? I’m thinking that lots of scraping and sanding will be sufficient preparations.
