Any current recommendations on a clear sealer for pmf in lieu of paint? I have an idea for the outside. Image
Ideas?

Could you use uncolored base? Like the base they use for dark paint. It goes on clear. You might get some weird looks from the paint counter.

Interesting. I think that could work. So, base 4, I think.

Woodbutcher used untinted enamel for a clear finiish on one of his builds. He did say that it started to yellow a little a year or so down the road.

I’m washing and drying a bunch of canvas. Bought the tie dye kits and sinew to tie with. Let the fun begin!

Also, last big storm brought a tree down and injured the trailer. I’ll need to get a new tongue welded on and a new tongue wheel. You can just see the trailer right above the grill.Image

Tree is no more. The trailer came through with only minor damage. I will get that fixed. How long is an extended tongue ?
