Using a paintbrush, apply a clear coat of polyurethane to one side of the door. Once the coat has dried (about 4 hours), give the surface some teeth to hold the next layer with 220-grit sandpaper, rubbing until the surface is smooth and cloudy white. Wipe the surface with a damp rag until the finish is clear.
