For Therma-Tru® fiberglass doors and Fypon® stainable polyurethane. For complete details on the Same-Day® Stain and topcoat limited warranty, go to www.samedaystain.com or ask your dealer for more details.
Finishing Instructions SAME-DAY®
STAIN
STRIPPING TO REFINISH 1. Choose a standard paint stripper. Paint or stain and topcoat can be
removed with most methylene chloride based strippers, such as: • Savogran® SuperStrip® • Savogran® Kutzit® • Dad’s Easy Spray® Paint, Stain & Varnish Remover Follow the paint stripper manufacturer’s directions and cautions for correct use. Check with the product manufacturer of your fiberglass door / stainable polyurethane product for details. 2. Apply the stripper, working on small areas at a time. Tip: For a fiberglass door, apply the stripper to the (A) glass frame first and (B) the raised panels second (see illustration), before moving on to the rest of the door. 3. Remove the stripper within 2–3 minutes. If your fiberglass door / stainable polyurethane product has a factory-applied primer, it might be removed with long exposure to paint strippers. Tip:Use a nylon bristle brush for easier removal of paint and stain from
the wood-grain texture. For fiberglass doors, grade 000 steel wool can also be used. 4. Wash off the remaining stripper. After the stain or paint has been
removed, clean with mild soap and water to completely remove any stripper residue. Rinse well and wipe dry. Make sure the product is completely clean and dry before refinishing.
TROUBLESHOOTING BEFORE STAINING
Fine white scratches:
1. Wipe the surface with mineral spirits and scratches should disappear.
Light scratches or scuffs:
1. Lightly spray scratched area with a matching primer or smooth the area by buffing in the direction of the grain. A 3MTM Scotch-BriteTM pad is recommended for buffing. 2. Clean the repaired area and allow to dry before finishing. Deep scratches: 1. Fill the scratch with a wood crayon or scratch pencil. Body filler, wood filler or epoxy fiberglass filler may also be used. Lightly sand. Grain detail may have to be manually etched into these fillers. 2. Wipe off any excess filler with a cleaning rag dampened with mineral spirits.
Fiberglass Door: Gaps Between the Glass Frame and Glass:
1. Apply a sealant that is recommended for use with paint and / or stain to the area where the glass frame meets the glass. Follow the sealant manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. 2. Scrape off the excess sealant. A caulk finishing tool, such as DAP® CAP™, is recommended. 3. Allow the sealant to cure per the manufacturer’s instructions before painting or staining.
TROUBLESHOOTING AFTER STAINING
Fine scratches:
1. Wipe the surface with mineral spirits. 2. Apply the stain to the scratched area with a cotton swab or an
artist brush. 3. Blend the stain until color match is achieved. 4. Wait until the stain is dry before applying topcoat. 5. Apply a fine layer of topcoat over the repaired area with a clean
cotton swab or small brush (approximately 1/2" width or less).
Tip: Fine scratches can be touched up by daubing stain onto the area
even if topcoat has already been applied.

Care and Maintenance Information Weatherproof, finish and maintain entry door system. Always paint or stain according to Therma-Tru® instructions. Do not paint door bottom sweep (gasket) or weatherstrip. Weatherstrip may be removed for easier painting or staining. Be sure to prime and paint, or stain and apply topcoat to all bare wood surfaces exposed to weather within 2 weeks of exposure for best performance. Bare, unprotected wood will weather and degrade and change color. Remember to finish all edges, side, top and bottom of out-swing doors. Inspect and maintain these edges as regularly as all other surfaces. Maintain or replace sealants and finishes as soon as any deterioration is evident. For semigloss or glossy paints or clear coats, do this when the surface becomes dull or rough. More severe exposures will require more frequent maintenance. Be sure to finish the Therma-Tru door within 6 months of the installation date for continued warranty coverage. Reapply the Therma-Tru topcoat (approximately every 3 to 5 years, depending on sun exposure) when topcoat fades or loses its gloss. Follow our “Finishing Instructions” found at www.thermatru.com. Periodically wipe down Hinges and a multi-point locking system (door handles and lockset) with a soft, water-dampened cloth and dry off with a soft, dry cloth. Abrasive cleaners or other harsh chemicals should never be used on hinges or the multi-point locking system (door handles and lockset).
