Default Finish for Front Door

HarryS wrote:
Well, the wood does tend to change color and requires sanding to
return the entire door to an even color. But, the finish also
changes color getting a whitish appearance. Actually, some finishes
we've applied have tended to go to a yellow color first, then
whitish. All of them eventually go to a white hazy appearance.


What finish are you using? "White and hazy" sounds like lacquer that
has water damage.

Are you saying that spar varnish won't do this?


All finishes - including paint - deteriorate in sunlight but I have
never seen a marine varnish turn white and hazy. It will gradually lose
shine and - if left long enough - start to lift (yellow spots) and get
sort of crumbly. BTW, you *can* get marine varnish without UV
inhibitors. I wouldn't.
