Trailer deck treatment

[kneedeep]

I just floored a equipment trailer with treated 2x10.
After couple weeks to dry, a gallon of Thompson in a 3 gal of waste diesel motor oil and 1 gal of diesel to thin rolled on in thin coats did a great job. Mix well between coats as Thompson may separate.
Rolled the full 5 gal on in about 3-4 days allowing it to fully soak in between coats paying extra attention to the knots.
A hard rain after unloading the machine just rain off, none soaked in. This is 2 months after doing the new floor.

I use used hydraulic fluid mixed in with diesel fuel and roll it on with a paint roller, it work best to let it set out in the sun on a good warm day and the boards will really soak up the mixture.
