Waterproofing tank stand

[steveoutlaw]

Looking to waterproof the bottom (inside) of my tank stand. What is the best product to use for this? The stand is all wood and the coating would have to go over caulking without damaging it.

This is what I used for the inside of my stand:

I need to use it over a waterbased paint. Are there any issues with that?

Steve,

Check out the boating place in front of shoppers(parkway)...look for a marine polyurethane.....uhhh....did you say you painted it already?

hmmmmm.....dont know then.

back in the late 90's i used the marine grade poly(clear) on my housing for my icecap vho's.

kept the wood from bowing, dis-coloring, etc etc.

Don't know if this is what your after in way of finish, but when i built my stand from pressure treated timber i gave it about 4 or 5 coats of the oil based Kilz

 

 

 

Admittedly it been up less than a year, but is just as good now as the day i applied it
