I am finishing a set of french doors that will open out, to the east, in seattle, so although there is no overhang outside, the exposure shouldn't be too bad. I am using Minwax fast drying polyuerathane. Before anyone comments, I am using this, and not switching. I am sure there are better products out there, but this is it. I had an ... unpleasant experience several years ago with Minwax Spar Urethane, so I WON"T be using that. I was planning on 5-6 coats on the outside exposure, but was wondering if this is overkill (i.e. is there a point of diminished return). I got three coats on one side of one door (ugh 3 more door sides to go). Any input is appreciated.
