Hi, That will be fine. First though scrape away any flaking or blistering finish and go over the entire surface with a little sand paper, 80 to 120 grit to put a little tooth on the surface so the new finish will stick better. This will also improve the surface so you will have a better texture.
If the present finish is really rough you may wish to scrape and sand a little more because faults in the surface will show through the new finish.

We have two fir doors that have taken a beating from the weather the past couple of years and need refinishing. Is it okay to put oil based verithane over the old coating of protection even if it isn't oil based verithane? I'm not sure what was on there and I don't want to make the doors any less protected by putting something on the doors that is going to rebel against what is already on the door. Thanks for your thoughts, David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
