Hi all
Redecorating the house at the moment and have a bit of a quandary.
Due to some doors not being fitted correctly by previous owners a couple have to be replaced (B&Q unfortunately but can’t afford to replace them all).
The doors are pine and the existing colour seems to be an aged but dark pine (probably originally antique pine) but can’t tell what stain.
Anyway, my question is basically how do I go about getting all these doors to match in colour? I have tried ronseal stain on both a sample of the bare pine and existing stained pine and they don’t match, I don’t really fancy sanding 7 doors down if I can help it and don’t want to go darker if I can help it.
Previously stained doors are not varnished/lacquered and I don’t believe they are even sanded!
I have read on here that Danish oil is fine for doors and that would be my ideal solution but would this stain well on top of the pre-stained doors? Presumably without sanding they won’t match the new doors?
Thanks in advance
Pete
