[QUOTE="Kit_B, post: 416266, member: 9392"] I found a great recipe on another forum. It's an old-school, tried & true method that has worked really well, for a lot of people. 1 part boiled linseed oil 2 parts mineral spirits 1 part quality spar urethane, (like Helmsman) Mix it up, really well. Brush it on, until your wood stops absorbing it. Brush on more...Until you're sure it's not going to soak up anything further. Let it cure for 72 hours (preferably, in a good, warm sun). After it's cured, finish it off with a generous coat of spar urethane. Be careful with rags & dispose of them properly. They may spontaneously combust. The components of this recipe are highly flammable/combustible. I just used this method on my transom board & I bet it'll last for longer than my boat's useful life. [/QUOTE]
