I have a number of door jams in place. I have been finishing the doors the=
mselves by spraying dye for color and then spraying Hydrocote as a finish c=
oat. Spraying the door jams in the house is out of the question. The logis=
tics of preventing overspray from going everywhere is just mind boggling.=
=20
I seem to have three options:
=20
First, dilute the dye in water, wipe, let it dry, and then brush on the =
Hydrocote (does it brush ).
Same as first option, but buy a brushing lacquer.
Third idea is to dilute the dye in a minimal amount of water, and add it=
to the Hydrocote - making a toner. Apply the toner to the jams with a bru=
sh.
=20
Does anybody have any better and sure fire method?
Thanks,
Len

Remove the jambs and finish them just like you finished the doors.
I'm half kidding but I gotta ask: Why didn't you finish them before you ins=
talled them? I'm
assuming they are new, correct?
