New wooden door treatment.
I am wanting to use cuprinol garden shades paint on a new exterior wooden garage door should i use a wood preservative first if so which one.
Apply paint and stain only to a clean door and tape off.
Penetrative wood treatments are the type of products that soak into the wood and protect from within such as decking oils.
This is why fresh pt lumber often arrives wet from the supplier and the moisture can impede the penetration of stains and paints.
Interior doors are usually finished with an oil varnish wax or paint.
Performing an inspection of all six sides of the door at least once a year can help keep these doors in tip top shape for the lifetime of a home.
The maintenance procedure is basically the same whether the door has been painted or coated with a clear natural finish.
Oil or latex based interior paints or wood stain are the preferred finish treatments for interior wooden doors.
The treatment of lumber with waterborne preservatives leaves moisture in the wood.
