Staining Help Pls

[bunnymendelbaum]

I'm staining some interior thresholds and patches today. I'd also like to stain our 2 new exterior doors (they are full light, so not too much wood to stain.)

It is going to be 54F & 56F today and tomorrow. Is that too cold to polyurethane? Should I hold off on staining until I can poly it too?

My DH wants to just use linseed oil on the doors to seal it, but I don't think that will be enough. WDYT?
TIA@!

I would do it. It's not too cold, it will just take longer to dry. I've never used linseed oil, but I would probably just stick with the poly.

thx. I think I'm going to do one coat of poly tomorrow in the warmest middle of the day.



I ran out of painter's tape, so I have to run out before I can stain the doors.

I'm a novice stainer and I have to say, it all looks pretty good so far.
