| Staining (New
Timber Front Door): |
|
| Step 1: |
|
|
Clean the surface of the Door
and Door Frame. Simply use an old paint brush and a cloth to remove any dust from the
surfaces. Also clean the glass if you have any on the
door.
|
|
| Step 2: |
|
|
Cover the floor with drop sheets. Use
masking tape if required to mask any glass or door
handle. Make sure the
whole area is covered before you start, you don't need any accident.
|
|
| Step 3: |
|
|
Sand the surface of the door
and door frame including the edges with 220 sandpaper.
Make sure you sand them in the direction of the wood
grain! Once it has been sanded, clean the surface of the
door and door frame using your old paint brush and
cloth. It has to be completely dust free. Use a vacuum
cleaner if needed!
|
|
| Step 4: |
|
|
It is time to apply the
SIKKENS Cetol HLS. This product will give a colour to
the door and door frame. Several colours are available
such as pine, mahogany, rosewood, natural, etc... Apply
the product with a brush (it is always better to brush
it in the direction of the wood grain). Start with the
back edge. Use a rag and wipe the surface, it will even
the product on the door or door frame. Once you have
done one coat let it dry. Usually two separate coats of
HLS required to reach the colour you wanted. Apply the
second coat by following the same method. Please
remember that you need to sand the surface between each
coat. It only needs a really light sand. Once you have
done with the second coat let it dry again. Use
"Coloured" Timber Putty and fill the holes
(nail holes) if there is any. (Coloured putty can be
purchased at your local store or can be mixed by you
using natural "plain" timber putty and tint.)

| Step 5: |
|
|
If you are happy with the
colour it is time to use the SIKKENS Cetol Filter 7.
Before you apply the product sand the surface of the
door and door frame. Also check the previously puttied
holes (nail holes) and make sure you did not miss any.
Clean the door and door frame again. It has to be
completely dust free. Once you are happy with the
surface you can apply the final coat. Simply apply the
product with a brush. Always brush it in the direction
of the wood grain. Let it dry for 24 hours. Two separate coats
are recommended for better protection so apply the
second coat on the next day using the same method as
before.
