I want to put one of these on a white pine door with nice stain finish only during workouts. Will it scratch the door or wear out the stain?

No the ultra anchor will not ruin the door whatsoever it has a soft webbing that is strong. And it has 4 straps that go around the door and 1 vertical straps so the anchor dont move up and down the door which is what it would take to ware stain off a door i have had my door anchor for 4 months and my door is in perfect shape no damage at all and i use my ultra anchor every day

I have used two sizes of this crate(Large and Jumbo) and it has yet to scratch my wood floors(oak). That said, I am not dragging the crate around; the crate is primarily used in just one place, not moved often, to keep my two dogs out of mischief at night when i cannot supervise them. Theoretically, a dog who jumps a whole lot might be able to cause scratches on a wood floor, but placing a polartec fabric piece(1-3 layers thick) under the entire crate before ever using it might be a cost effective way to remove this possibility. Fabric stores or amazon might have such fabric. This has proven to be a wonderful crate for my dogs with no harm to our floors after many months of use.

I have painted over this product with good success. I have not attempted any stain. Since the product keeps moisture from penetrating, I would be reluctant to stain. Stain works by penetrating wood.

You should be able to use it over paint provided the painted surface is smooth without chips or cracks. If it is not smooth, the stain will look different on places where it touched wood vs. places where it touched paint. Depending on the color of the paint it might impact the color of the stain too. It won't show up very well on black paint, for example. Honestly, i would just use paint over paint but you can always do a small patch of the door to test.

The bar hangs off the molding around a door. As long as you have molding it should be fine. It does do some damage after extended use but i have heard if you place a towel or something under the point where it hits the molding it won't damage. Hope this helps.

I have used this on all of my bathroom cabinets, the real wood doors and fronts, and the laminate sides and it looks AWESOME!! I used the sock method (3 coats with light sanding in between) and 3 coats of satin poly. It's been a year and NO scratches no chips!

It will be fine. My bedroom has a hollow door and you have to make sure that your door is shut and that your pulling against the frame. In other words, from the outside of the door. It makes your workout so much easier and faster.

I've only used it on an inside door, but I think that if the door you wish to use it on is smooth enough on the surface, it should be possible. However, rain, wind and weather would wear on it, so I think it wouldn't last as long on an outside door. The most important thing, though, is to apply it to as smooth a surface as possible.

The directions on bottle say to "avoid painted surfaces." However I did a bit of overlapping on my job onto a painted surface and no harm seemed to be done. The stuff is painted on with a brush, so Iused an small artist type brush for close areas. I did the job last April and the door still looks like new. I suggest you try a small amount on to a painted surface you don't care much about to see for yourself.

No, it doesn't scratch. I don't know how much movement you can do in gardening. I found it works well in all I do.

I have used it several times on mine....and other cast iron pans...and no, it doesn't scratch it. If it leaves a rust-type stain, just clean it with Barkeepers and it will be perfect! I use Barkeepers on my cooktop all the time and it's amazing. My cooktop is 14 years old and not a scratch

I use it on plush carpet. It slips a little, but I move it back with a quick tug. Doesn't hurt the workouts. No stains after months of using it

Yes! That's the beauty of it. Mine were white-wash stained cabinets initially. I used "000" steel wool pads to scuff the surface in the direction of the grain to remove any gloss and to clean them up (don't kill yourself sanding...the steel wool works great and gets into the crevices). The gel stain is like a paint...it stays on top of the surface...does not really sink into the wood anyway, so as long as you scuff it up slightly it will work fine. Go for it!

There are protective pads underneath on each side and top to protect the finish of your cabinet. My cabinet is painted and there are no scratches whatsoever on the wood.

It stays through my workouts but I don't know about rubbing it, it will probably rub off. I'd think anything would :/

No, it did not stain anything, but I don't think anybody was wearing white. I would not use it in doors for the same reason I would not use silly string indoors, it's kinda got a wet feel to it and it will stick to your walls. If you have white walls it will leave a slight wet look where it landed for about two days. I let some dry on the baseball cap we had the camera attached to for a week and I had to rub it to get it off but it came off just fine. We do a silly string fight every year for both my kids birthdays and this stuff is identical to silly string (in all ways) at half the price.

No. My entire 3,000 sq foot home is antique pine wood and it works great. No scratches and I use it almost daily.
