MARK BLOCKER: Hello. My name is Mark Blocker on behalf of Expert Village. In this training video, we're going to go over how to refinish interior door jambs. What we're going to do is we're going to take this previously stained door jambs and we're going to sand them down, repair the dents, divits and minor damage to the doors and prepare 'em for what I refer to as a paint grade. In woodworking products, in trim and finish work, you have basically two types of finishing: a paint grade finishing and a stain grade finishing. A stain grade would be a wood, raw wood, that's capable of being stained to show the clear beauty of the grain; whereas a paint grade we can use putty and other materials to make repairs and get the door smooth and that'll be covered with paint so they won't be able to be seen. So, in this case here we're going to take the existing stained doors and then prep them, repair the dents, divits and sand them down and get them prepped and paint them. First, we'll primer 'em and then we'll put the finishing coat on there. Now, we'll take you through all the steps, step by step for a proper, safe way to refinish your interior door jambs. Please watch our next segment on safety.
