Finish Suggestions...

It would be better than nothing. That’s all I got. Epoxy is the far and away best choice. Some others would fare well. Just don’t know which ones.

Just trying to bump your thread back up. Maybe change the topic to “Tinishing suggestions for a sink drying rack” maybe?

Drain Board??

I had to laugh. I thought I was the only one to ever call it that. Every time I use that expression, my wife and kids roll thier eyes and tell me to “get hip”. “It’s never called that any more”.......................

What’sit called now??? That’s all I have ever heard it called in the Mid West (Iowa).

Guess I must be showing my age. Did a search on line for wooden drain boards and tons came up. Interesting…

The typical oil and/or wax finishes will need to renewed frequently to keep the project from deteriorating since it will see a lot of wet/dry cycles. Since you don’t want epoxy or poly, consider an oil based exterior paint base. The highest base #, for dark colors, doesn’t have pigment in it and will dry pretty clear.
