Preparing Cedar door for restaining

Jul 11, 2004 0 Replies

I have recently been loaned a tin of cedar stain (the person wants it shortly). What preparation do I need to do to the door before restaining it? Do I need to sand it? Have heard different views on this.



The current stain on the door is not too bad, but I would like to take up the offer of the free stain (may be slightly different shade). Does time of year matter (for drying etc)?



I am a complete amateur, so assume I know nothing (which is pretty much true).



Any help is appreciated,



Regards Scott
