Re: Palf's Little Blue Jimmy

I did not remove the wood. If yours is not installed yet, then I (what was recommended to me) do both sides real well, then occasionally (depending on how much sun and use the bed gets) you can just re-rub the danish oil in again. Since the bottom doesn't get (or abuse by me), you don't need to worry about that as much. The guy I got the truck from did the bed about 5-6 years ago. It stayed in a garage mostly until I got it and drove it a lot more, and it sat out in the sun a lot more. I put 4 (maybe 5 I forgot) coats with 24+ hrs in between coats. Before the last coat I did a 1000 grit lite sanding, then rubbed in the last coat.
