So I bought this "Monkey Wood" blank a few years ago - rescued from some office that didn't make it. I only paid $100 for it and like it. It's on a cleat on the wall and has legs on the front.
This is what it looked like after I sanded it and applied tung oil 2 years ago. I never sealed it with anything and it may as well be on the equator w/ as much sun as it gets.
Well, it didn't hold up. I'm in the process of sanding all the mildew out of it and bringing back the true colors of the wood. I didn't seal it last time because it was summer and I figured it would just be a tacky mess.
I'd cover it in bar room table epoxy, but it will never cure in this heat and sun, and I'm not bringing it inside.
If I tung oil it again, is there something you'd recommend to make it stay that way? I was just going to spray it w/ Krylon UV Resistent Clear right before dark. Should I stain it instead of using oil?
Any help appreciated.
