Just built a workbench - finish the plywood top?
After too many years of using the tailgate, garage floor or the washing machine (wife was NOT happy after that) as a workbench, I finally moved enough stuff out of the garage and built a proper workbench!
The top is 3/4inch red oak sanded plywood. I fully understand that it's going to get banged up, dinged, scratched and otherwise used, that's what it's for. However, I'd like to finish it with something to at least prevent the variety of fluids present in my truck from soaking into it.
Tung oil in multiple coats seems to be the best answer. Any other opinions?
