Hi
Well most of us have a methode for keeping rust off the metal on our vehicles.
But I was wandering what people do to keep wood parts of the vehicle from rotting or drying out?
I spend my saturday, brushing the lockers, floor and every other woodenpart that I could on my Scammell Pioneer, with linseed oil mix 1:1 with turpentine.
The vertical wooden surfaces on the rear body are painted, but the not the floor and horisontal surfaces. In some places the wood was so dry it sucked olie instandly from the brush when it touched it.
Linseed oil do not offer any protection, on its own, aginst fungi, to do this it has to mixed with pine tar.
I use the oil with out the tar because my Scammell is stored in doors so there is not much need for fungus protection.
But what do you guys out there use for preserving the wood, painted/unpainted?
