i need to know what my best option is to seal my 4-trac with, i dont want to risk anything with it, i have researched a few epoxy sealents that sound legit, and i have looked into taking it to a friends auto shop and getting it sprayed with whatever they seal their cars with, so let me know what yall think, thanks Cool

w.e.s.t. systems is the best hands down, it's expensive but it works best.

Yea West Systems 2 part Marine epoxy is the best but its not absolutely clear. Its has a amber colored tint.

you could maybe use a several clear coats of AWL Grip paint if you dont want that amber tint, that might work but i'm not really sure.

but if you dont care about that, defiinately go with w.e.s.t. systems

bobby211, yea i looked at the west systems epoxy, it just looks sooo complicated, i wish they sold it in a package or something, instead of having to buy each part.

Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane, clear gloss. You can brush it on or buy it in a spray can. So easy, no ambering either.

Jesse, but how durable is it??

Jesse · Posted: Dec 15, 2007 1:08 pm Post subject:

That depends on how many coats, three coats is what I usually do. Very durable

Jesse, isnt urethane pretty damn expensive but i think i remember looking at some prices once, but that might just be cause im from AUS and they like to make things expensive for us down here :p

Its not expensive here in the states. Its like 5 and some change for a big spray can.

bobby211, How often does one need to seal? I assume this is to prevent water lodging correct?
