Urethane and stain color
« on: February 25, 2016, 08:12:52 AM »
Any advice on matching stain color on cabin door?  Just sanded the flaking urethane. Thinking of maybe using a urethane that's got pigment already mixed in to make the whole door uniform in color.

I wonder if Polycrylic would work on that.  Is it teak?
I built my den desk and cabinets and stained the wood and covered with this stuff - still looks new after maybe 5 years.

I'll forward a pic..I think its Teak. You can understand bow difficult it is to sand all those louvered slats down to the bone in order to get a uniform color and finish.  That's why I'm thinking a pigmented urethane might be the best option.

Oh I understand.  I built a wall unit in my den and had louver doors made to allow for air circulation for the PC stuff.  I was going to spray them but never got around to that.

The louvered hatch covers/doors on my CCP were probably similar. I disassembled them and did each individually. Took a little longer but it was as uniformed as the teak itself allowed. The louvers sit in routed "holes". Re-assembly was....well the term patience comes to mind.

Just a thought.
