Wood Sealant Recommendation
I just bought a couple 4x8 0.7 thick plywood sheets with an Agathis facing. It had a decent look and price, but what do I know. I'm using it for a platform and probably the structure for the sink inside the van.
My requirements:
1. It dries fast. I have like maybe a week for it to sit and dry, but I want to be able to handle it within a day within a weekend.
2. Goes on easy with a brush, and one coat is all that is needed.
3. Waterproof. With kids, we'll probably be spilling, hopefully just, water on it.
4. Can be found in my local Home Depot, Lowes, or OSH (Orchard Supply Hardware).
5. Cheap! For the things that I ask for, I'm sure it won't be cheap, but I figure I'd list it.
There will be a half inch thick puzzle foam over the top of this that will give the kids a place to play around in and maybe provide a soft surface for them to fall. I could probably leave it bare plywood, but the center section of the platform will be pulled out to provide an eating table. I guess we could eat over bare plywood, but it would be nice to have some type of finish.
I'm a super-duper noob when it comes to this, and as you can probably tell, I'm in a bit of a rush to finish this for a road trip in two weeks. The only brand that I know of is Thompson's, so be nice to me.
Thanks for any tips!
