Hey all,
I've a few questions on external doors... hope someone can assist, as a search didn't provide the answers.
I have two external doors that need the (don't know the name) "piece of tread that is under the door" cleaned up and re-finished. It is dirty, but in good order and not exposed to the weather.
1. whats the name for the tread that is under the door?
2. what finish should I use? I think an oil finish or varnish was on it before, not paint.
3. the tread has no finish on it at the moment, so there is ground in dirt and no finish. Other than sanding or scraping, can I clean with "Nappy-San" like for pool/verandahs decks and then finish?
Thanks in advance,
