Oiling trailer decks

Been off this project for a couple weeks. Deck boards are cut to fit and the back half are partially screwed down. Forward half is just sitting in place.

Did get the winch mounted, boxes back on, lights in boxes, harness is done, other than wiring in the switch panel. Hobo freight trailer winch jack thing is the deal. It's slow but I can hold the remote while I'm doing all the connections in the bed, by time it's on the ball im about done. Another solid Saturday and I should be able to finish it. Pics:

Piggybacking on @Clubbs 's thread, but I got this knocked out yesterday and today. It says make sure it can cure for *FOUR* hours before it gets rained on. It got...idk...30 minutes? Seems to have held up just fine in spite of that.

Had to scrubs the entire thing with a stiff brush to cut through the grossness, even after spraying it down with a deck cleaner. Oh well, it looks pretty good regardless! I'm out less than 100 bucks between a 1 gallon sprayer for the cleaner, the cleaner itself, the stain, and a brush/roller/paint tray combo. Not too shabby.

Didn't take a before picture, but it was GROSS. Almost 8 years of not being washed.

After the cleaner, scrubbing, and hosing it off.
