Re: sealing a wooden jon-boat

You did not say whether or not we are are talking exposed grain or not I assume that we are. I would use several coats of clear laquer. First use a really good wood sealer, spray and sand several times. then use anywhere from 4 to 10 thin coats of clear laquer sanding lightly with 320 grit paper between coats. finishing with 600 grit then a final flat coat to finish. allowing plenty of time between coats for drying before sanding and applying next coat.
