Looking for any recent info on coating(s) for a wood bed. My ‘47 AD 1/2 ton is awaiting an oak bed from Mar-k. I don’t want to paint the bedwood.
I’ve read the articles here, elsewhere on the net and on the Mar-k web site. I’ve done a lot of wood working so I’m familiar with spar varnish etc. The truck will sit outside but see winter storage.
Realizing there are many proven approaches, they all ultimately fail. Many posts of the proven techniques date back a few years also. So I’m torn between old proven practices and something that be more modern and more durable.
I’m leaning toward an auto clear coat type finish over a light stain/clear wood. With the MANY approaches, I'm wondering if there are updated experiences/tests that are using multiple auto clear coats on all 6 sides? I wonder if Mar-k has experimented with this covering?
“Any pearls of wisdom” you can share would certainly help me and others! Thanks.
