finish
 

Just built a field caddy don’t want to stain or paint it I like the wood look is there a clear finish I can spray on it that is fuel proof something that I can buy at the home depot.

Mine is finished and sealed with thinned epoxy, it is liquid proof, extremely durable and perfectly clear. A bit more time consuming then a spray on type however.

Polyurethane

X2 what MinnFlyer said.
I put four coats of high gloss polyurethane on my field box. Sanded between coats...smooth as glass and the grain of the wood really pops out.

hello,

what's a field caddy??

and about the fuel proof spray? try Rustoleum and Krylon..polyurethane..


neither is fuel proof but i guess, they're all fuel resisting.

Poly U. Just make sure it sets for a few days before use so it sets up, then it seems to be pretty fuel proof.

Unfortunately epoxy is not ultraviolet proof. Your epoxy finish will last longer if you cover it with a good quality (maybe marine) varnish with ultraviolet filters. My 2 cents.

RE: finish
 

As Minnflyer said, Polyurethane. I've done exactly that with my model stand and it is perfectly protected.

Don't over engineer this. I might offer the suggestion that you follow what experience has shown. No need to go into exaggerated expense.. simply use Polyurethane.. a few coats and you're done with it.

I've done that and it works just fine.
