I *think* the existing finish is oil based polyurethane but
I could be wrong about that. Another nice feature of the
Polycrylic is that it should be compatible with the existing
finish, whatever was actually used.

Once dry and cured, it doesn't really matter unless the old finish was
just plain oil. Of course, if it is peeling the loose stuff has to go.
Clean, dry, free of dust.....

90% of the surface area is door (versus frame). However, 90% of
the peeling is on the frame.

So the doors are in pretty good shape -- just a touch-up job
here and there. The finish on the cabinet frames is in a fairly
sorry state.

Hence the thought of using different treatments for door .v.
frame.
