I have a love/hate relationship with my front door as, whilst it looks lovely (or used to anyway!), it is very exposed to the elements and weathers very quickly. The carpenter who installed it last April put 2 coats of Sadolin "natural" extra durable woodstain on it but by the end of the year the door was looking dull and I worried that it wouldn't last the winter, so I gave it a light sanding, cleaned it with a lint-free cloth and methylated spirit, then applied a coat of the same Sadolin "natural" woodstain. It was a disaster! I ended up with brush marks and darker patches, and nothing like the natural finish I was hoping for. Now the weather is warming up again I need to have another go at it but I'm dreading it. How do I get rid of the patches? And where did I go wrong?
