Re: Just Finished my Wood Bed
Hello. What did you use to put the sealer down? Brush? Roller? Did you buff it out or that 400 grit was enough? Thank you in advance!

I just finished my bed wood used some different products ill share with you I used a Mimwax oil stain named weathered oak and 5 coats of the oil based spar varnish applied with a sponge roller ( do not press hard on roller and stir the varnish DO NOT SHAKE so you don't get air bubbles...I sanded first coat lightly with 400 don't want to go through it and sand the stain then I used 400/ 600 the rest of the way ...this spar varnish will cause some yellowing the more coats you apply...I have another truck and bed that I will do when I finish this one and will try this product( last picture because it supposedly won't yellow) it is water based product if you are using a stain it must be water based also ....Brothers has some videos on the process too

Re: Just Finished my Wood Bed
I used Minwax water based spar urethane . 7 coats lightly scuffed between coats with 220 . Let the last coat cure for two weeks then wet sanded with 2000 paper and a light buff.

Have to add this was the second go around with the wood . I had done it with Penofin marine oil . After a few months I took the wood back out planed it down a fraction and redid it

Re: Just Finished my Wood Bed
I’ve had plenty in the bed . Pop ups coolers and chairs for shows but I put the rubber non slip liner in it then a moving blanket. Found that with the glossy surface and polished strips everything shifted in the bed without the rubber . This is what I used
