Hiya
I scored an exterior back door off Freecycle which was exactly what I was about to spend £300 on - double glazed exterior oak. We badly need a new back door, ours is single glazed and cracked, but we are a bit skint at present.
The issue is that it's been left outside in its packing and water has got in, leading to surface mould and staining. I've scrubbed off the mould and brought it inside to dry out, and it mainly looks superficial and like it might come off with a sand.
If it's not warped/cracked when it dries out is it worth persisting with? And if so what should I treat/paint it with? If the discolouration is noticeable I don't mind painting it white.
