I need help fixing a total screw-up that I did. We had a new wooden front door and side lights installed and stained. But I decided to do the final outside clear coating myself. I put three coats of Minwax Polycoat on and got all kinds of positive remarks from my neighbors. But within 3 months I was seeing a clouding of the finish. That's when I re-read the can to see that it isn't recommended for exterior use. I have read that I need to strip the door down to the bare wood using stripper that has methylene chloride. I have also read that once this is done the re-staining does not often turn out too well. Add to this that I have some lung issues and don't really want to use that stripper.
Can anyone here suggest a method or a product to help me out, or do I just have to bite the bullet and use the above method?
Thank you for any input you can give me.
