Howdy,
A few years ago wow, many now, our front door was painted with spar
varnish. It was said to be an indoor outdoor coating used on boats. I
agreed, correctly or incorrectly.
Over time it has roughened up on the side that gets the early sun.
I've washed it down and resurfaced it.
I used more spar varnish. i love what it did for a table I built two years
ago, so figured same over same on the door.
There are places that seem not to take this new stuff.
i washed with a weak phosphate cleaner which has never failed me. (in
it's high strength, it will pit enamel paint and almost doesn't need
sanding).
So I'm getting tired, as this will be the 4th light coating of spar
varnish, I've put on the door.
I'm wondering, is there anything else, i can use?
Something that will take the sun as well as spar varnish (or better) will
be compatable with what is on the door, and will not look splotchy coating
the places that didn't coat with the spar? (satin finish)
I didn't want to sand as it was kind of pitted enough for sure. i use that
cleaner in it's weakened state to degrease.
Any solutions short of sanding out there?
