Do you mean aluminum on the outside of your trailer or what product to protect a wood finished trailer? Doug

I see that English is not you first language! Maybe one of our Spanish speaking members will help you out!

You can put the aluminum directly over the wood. That's how they were originally done. I do a quick coat of epoxy or some sort of sealer over the wood before I install the aluminum though. That way...if it does get some water under the skin, it doesn't damage the wood as quickly. You can use something like a polyurethane if epoxy isn't available.

If it is just a wood trailer and no aluminum skin, I use epoxy, several coats, then paint over that. I hope this translates well. Doug
