Ingredients
- 1 ½ quarts Gel Stain I used the color Hickory and needed 1 ½ quarts for my three-car garage.
- 1 2-inch paintbrush
- 2 packs Carriage Door Hardware optional
Instructions
- Clean your garage doors. I did this by power washing them with a hose nozzle.
- Let the doors dry completely.
- Wait until you have a warm day, between 70ºF and 80ºF.
- If there is time when the garage doors are in the shade, do it during that time.
- Start at the top or bottom and work in sections, ending where the square sections end. This allows you to have a stopping point and not create a lot of streaky lines.
- Work your way up or down, just doing the one square-wide section at a time. Move over to the next square section and continue up or down. Try not to re-brush over where you’ve already brushed the stain on.
- I did my doors when it was 60ºF out and they took a long time to try, about 8 hours. This was a problem because as they dried, dust and animal fur got on the bottom of the doors. It isn’t noticeable, but quicker drying times would avoid that.
- Let the first coat dry completely. If you try to add the second coat while the first coat is still tacky, it will brush off.
- Add a second coat the same way you added the first.
- Once it’s dry, add the carriage door hardware.
