What type of finish do you have on your Woody Wagons and Hucksters?

Hi DBShelton. I lived in Nederland for most of my life. Know 'xactly where Kountze is. My Huckster/Special Delivery is painted Kakki from the windshield forward. The wood is clear coated Red Oak. Each piece of oak was sealed with one coat of Helmsman Urethane, then covered with a second coat of Clear Gloss Urethane. After assembly the third coat of clear was applied.

Kin to TJ Parker? Looks nice! Not sure what is on mine. It is quite old and has a slightly "sticky or tacky" feel to it. Overall in good shape but some day I will want to do something with it.

After working on a part that doesn't show over the last few months. The tacky feel is like a very thin film on the finish. Sands off and cleans up easily. After waiting a month or so it is still hard. Takes spar varnish fine.

6 coats of Pettit spar varnish.
