<p>The formula I used on my trailer floor was <br>
Turpentine 1 qt <br>
Boiled Linseed Oil 1 qt <br>
Pine Tar 1/2 pt <br>
Japan Drier 1/2 pt <br>
</p>
<p>It was expensive, but I did not want something that would be
sticky or catch a lot of dirt. After 2 years it still beads up
water and I can lay on it while working on a tractor or truck. It
was an $11K trailer, so I decided to take care of it. Probably
the only one I will ever buy like it. It has a hydraulic tail
that can pick up 10K and carry 4K, and the rest of the deck can
carry 25K. It also has hydraulic jacks that can raise up the back
of the truck if I have to change a flat. I ordered the turpentine
from some place in Georgia. It was the clearest stuff I ever saw
and smelled great. The pine tar was the original Stockholm pine
tar, not the stuff tractor supply sells. It could pass for
medicinal use it was so good smelling. I got the rest at the
local hardware store. The weather caught up with me and the last
coat I put on it was about 30 minutes before a rain. I still have
a quart of the Turpentine, I used it on a calf the other day for a
cut he got from a Longhorn.. It didn't appear to burn like I
thought it would... Sorry I ramble............<br>

everyone uses for a wood preservative for wood trailer

oil, used motor oil and even anti freeze recommended as a
preservative. I was thinking of a good latex house paint

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"> I am salvaging the
frame from an old pop-up camper to use for utility
trailer. The deck will be about 6' X 11'. I can use
3/4" treated plywood or 1X6 treated boards for about the
same cost. Which one will do a better job? </div>
