You can't stain a door that is already sealed. You have to first remove the sealer down to bare wood so that the stain can penetrate into the wood to the color desired, then reseal with a polyurethane or spar varnish.
Add the wood stain to the linseed oil until you have reached the desired color for your new door. Be sure to test the stain on the same kind of wood as the door so you will know the true color once you apply it to the door.
You don't. You will most likely have to restain after stripping.
Yes, it was discontinued. its a very important thing to my step mother and shes got a new door and would love it. where could i get it? ----- ADDED: I have had good luck by using one layer of Minwax Rosewood and another of Minwax Vermont Maple (water-based). Hope that helps.
Yes. Make sure you strip all clear finish off down to bare wood and stain. You can re-stain with same or darker color tone, but can't go lighter in tone. In order to go lighter you have to plane the wood down past the stain penetrating layer. good luck with your project.
Fiberglass is dangerous. You have to have a confined set-up to work with it and spray it in a waterfall booth. This is so that the water catches the fibers in a drain and doesn't release them to the environment You can either paint it or woodgrain it. If you want to paint it, just prime it and paint it like it was a steel door. Woodgraining the door requires gel stain and a graining tool. The Zar brand does a lot of advertising on HGTV (well, at least they did) to claim it has the only system to use to woodgrain a fiberglass or steel entry door, but there are several gel stain systems out there and all of them work.
I would think the red was stain and the door Oak. Could be Mahogany, but doubt it.

I have certainly reused Mahogany with lots of success. I have taken old door jambs and ripped the edges off to make some gumsmacking drawers and shelving.

When the door is closed and guarded.
If the door has a primer or a paint on it then no. Stain needs open grain to work. Stain seeps into the pores of the wood. If there is a coating, i.e. the primer or paint, then the stain will have nowhere to go. It will just sit on top of the coating until it is wiped off or dries in ugly blotches.
to get an egg stain off of a concrete driveway, go to your local pool supply and get a bottle of muratic acid.be careful not to get any on yourself, children or pets. pour the acid on the stain and let set,if you desire, you could use a stiff broom to get the stain off. as for the door, it will need to be sanded and re-painted, if you have thew same paint on the door, you can just redo the area where the stain is at
