    Re: Question about rack

    You should seal it with a water based urethane to be safe

    Question Re: Question about rack

    How long do i need to let my plywood rack sit after i put a bunch of waterbased urethane coats on it so itll be waterproofed/safe?

    Is there a specific brand of water based urethane that i should get that someone used before?

    Re: Question about rack

    There should be instructions on the can of whatever you get... But if you already built the rack, you'll now have to disassemble it to get the whole thing covered. I'd just go buy some melamine lol.
