Hey guys. Earlier i posed this question by piggybacking on an old thread, which is bad form and i know better. So to correct the error of my ways, here it is in a new thread.
I just installed some sapele exterior doors that I finished with D-Dur exterior 2k poly and I’m really not happy with how it turned out. The door on the northeast side of the garage (gets like zero sun exposure so it stays wet when it rains) is showing signs of water infiltration after just a week of cool, wet fall weather here in PA.
I have a large set of commercial entry doors with full exposure (no porch) to do next and planned on using the D-Dur but am seriously considering other options now.
I'm considering using Cetol Door & Window but have read that it needs UV exposure to cure and isn’t recommended for in-shop finishing. Since its too cold to finish the doors on site, shop finishing is an absolute must. Would the Cetol 1 + Cetol 23 Plus system be a better choice? Ideally I’m interested in UV resistance and relatively straight-forward maintenance procedures (re-coat on site).
Having never used this product before (and not done much exterior door making) any guidance on the subject would be incredibly appreciated.
