Re: Bed Wood Thickness

I build these beds all the time and recommend using the factory specs shown on Paul's GMC site. For the best results on your finish it is best to use a good marine varnish sealer with UV protection first. I like Pettit and recommend three coats. This seals the wood so your varnish will now build. Then use a good Marine Varnish with UV protection. I like Epifanes Easy Flow. I also recommend using a bronze wool or wet sand between coats once you start with the varnish. The bronze wool will not rust like steel. I would not recommend using any kind of water base materials at all. They just do not hold up. Good Luck
