John,
Is just the top coat peeling off, or is the stain also lifting?
Are you using a dark stain and have a storm door on this door? I've seen
cautions on doors and storm doors for this combination. Some storm doors
will actually have the glass pane in them break from the heat when
facing West here in Texas, I doubt that would happen in CT!
I've never tried using 2 part or epoxy in this way.
Please let us know what works for you.
Peace,
Pat
