Kitchen cupboard doors

Posted by Leighton Smith, on
Is there any way to make our Crown Imperial red alder doors less 'orangey' without painting them? I'd like them to be more of an oak colour, thank you

yes you can, but you will have to strip the existing finish down to wood and then apply the stain of your choice and then seal with the top coat, Sikens IS A SPECIALIST SUPPLIER of finishes for wood and they have a very good reputation for quality. they can be found on the internet. they have a very good technical help line that will be able to guide you through the process.
