Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 44 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 44 | My wood bed needs refinishing..the paint on the medal dividers is in great shape, but the seal on the wood has peeled. Is this simply a case where I remove all the bolts holding down the medal and remove the boards...refinish then re install....Or is it more complicated than that. I appreciate any insights and tricks for this project...
Thanks in advance

Hopefully the wood isn't too far gone as far as cracking / checking. Search the Forum for finishing suggestions - everyone has a different approach / product they prefer. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 44 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 44 | Bruce

Mar-K site here at the bolt and you will find where they did a lot of test and recomendations.
What ever you use just be sure to put about 4 coats on it, and be sure to get all sides including the edges and ends. Do a search in here are in the bed forum and you'll find plenty to read.
