Dear Ask-a-nerd. (Sign finishing and weather-proofing.)

Post by Gawdzilla Sama » Thu May 19, 2011 11:55 am

I'm making some directional signs for the Wolf Center. I want to apply a finish that will keep them from rotting in our hot and damp summers. They're made out of pine. What would you suggest for a finish?

Good choice, and dirt cheap. Dunno about your prices, but over here you can get a 5 kilo can for around £12
