Stain/seal top of trailer.

[TheHoover]

If anyone out there was wondering what it looks like to stain a cherry color. I’ve wanted to get this done since I bought the trailer new three years ago. Finally got it done today. Sanded. Sanded some more. Sanded again. Then stained with a mahogany cherry. I’ll seal with a few coats of top coat.

Looks great!

one word of caution, be careful when you’re on top the trailer when it is wet, I don’t know why but it always seems to me that finished trailer decks are very slippery when wet.

Might want to add some grit to you final sealer coat.

I often wonder why "used motor oil" isn't a choice of stain color. It works very well.

That looks great @TheHoover!! I agree with @Vikes79 about putting some grit in your top coat sealer.

I usually use the dry stuff and mix it in to a small amount of clear and apply. It does work great. Above link is an example of the liquid traction additive you can add.

How long does it take to dry?

It just soaks in.
