I had an Iroko door dipped, which took off about 5 layers of paint.
I left the door two weeks to dry, applied three coats of water based PU varnish and refitted the door - it doesn't fit! The door seems to have expanded to the extent it won't fit in the frame.
I've left it two more weeks to see if it would shrink but it hasn't. I'm reluctant to plane it because I can't see how dipping it could have made it expand, and I don't want to be left with a gaping gap around the door in six months.
Any ideas if the door will have stabilised after a month and if doors normally need planing after dipping?
Thanks
