I just prestained three door frames and doors and managed to stain two of them. With prestain already applied to the third, is it okay to stop?

Yes. When you do stain the third door - assuming that it's a few hours or more later - you'll need to reapply the prestain.

Not sure about staining since I am careful regarding what comes into contact with the treated surface. My advice would be to remember that this is simply a type of paint. If something will stain or damage paint, odds are that it will also damage duplicolor shadow. Another option is to contact Dupli Color with your question.

No. It is pre-treated and you don't have to....however of you wanted to change to "look" then it appears you could stain it.

Colleen, I've seen this on many of my projects too. The prior stain or paint was applied without sealing the wood, so the stain was absorbed unevenly. In some cases I've used alcohol (although this tends to raise the grain) or a dental pick to scrape out paint (but this can leave scratches). Since I usually use a walnut stain, it obscures most of the prior stain/paint. Unless the old covering is in a highly visible area, you are probably OK.

Hello! I am not so sure. Will you be staining just the door's? Or are you removing the doors and painting the inside of the cabinets, you know, the whole cabinets? If one quart cover about 100 square feet, it goes far. A lot depends on how white you want to make the cabinets. two coats make things whiter. One tip: It goes on like water so it does go far. I'm sure your kitchen cabinets will look beautiful when finished. I'd love to see a picture when you are finished. I might try to talk with the (Minwax 61860) people, they could give you specifics much closer than I could. I do love this product though. GOD BLESS! Jan B (Can you buy it by the gallon?) Hello!

Well, ours were damaged by use and water by the sink. Droplets over the years, transferring dishes to dishwasher, wet hands leaving the sink for towels to dry, etc. We just used 0000 steel wool to apply this product. I uploaded photos to Amazon on this product. A faux drawer and cabinet below. If yours looks like mine then you could probably get away with the method we used. Any sealant/finish that was on ours was totally gone. We did not presand. Hope this helped

I don't think it leaves a stain. I really have not used it on many painted surfaces. I used it outside around my covered deck, so that's aluminum siding, and around some exterior doors. I guess the door moldings are painted though. I have not noticed any discoloration or staining on any surfaces.

The problem with most floor coatings is getting them to adhere over the long haul. I don't think stain would be a problem but the coating on top like clear coat and wax may be. When I apply it on other than a new floor I use a floor grinder to be sure and provide a keyed surface after filling all the cracks. This coating is very industrial - it is opaque grey - it is great in a garage but I am not sure I would use it in another room especially if it was stained already.

I haven't really had any problems with staining...but I also am careful with it.

not bad, really- depending on how bad the stain is, you can dilute the solution 3 parts AIP with 1 part water in a gallon sprayer then saturate the area and allow to dry. The manufacturer also offers full support- they are of great help, too.

I think if its tile floor or vct tile no problem but if its mastic glueNo you need to use remover like a striper so you can stain

By step 3, do you mean glaze or clear coat? How much have you done? What color? If you mean glaze, you can't remove it after it dries. If you just did one door, you could probably put base coat back over it and try again.

It would be after the stain is dry, What are you treating for, This dust is just a contact it will not leave a residual effect.

Pretreat with a scotch guard. I have not experienced any staining as of yet however, I monitor who and what are around this beautiful yet fragile upholstered chair - It's a great piece of furniture.

It appears to already have a natural finish. The stain might not soak in unless you do a pre-process.

I have a few stray marks on my canopy (light blue stroller) and I couldnt get them off w water and Resolve. Not sure what to do ... Before I ever used this, I had contacted UB re. Pre-treating it and they told me not to as it was already pre-treated for stains.

Yes definitely, do not put on painted doors. It actually took the paint off. Not happy about that.
