All,
I recently had some basement remodeling done and the guys put in a couple cheapo luan (sp) doors from Home Depot.
They are unfinished, and not particulary attractive. Very light in color. Grain is rough mahogany-esque, so I'd like to stain and finish them. I'm shooting for something reddish along the lines of mahogany (I know I won't turn lauan into mahogany!).
Have any of you worked with this stuff? Only test I've done so far is try some standard Waterlox. Didn't do anything, I need color. So I'm looking into stains or maybe the colored poly route.
Any experience, ideas, comments, suggestions, would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Max
