Dispatch Tow box preservation

[indianrob]

Before I mount the box on the Dispatch Tow I’d like to treat the wood parts to prevent rot. I can paint or use wood sealer or wood preservative but I don’t want to do anything that will cost points during judging.

Opinions?

Thanks

Boiled Linseed Oil is an excellent wood preservative. Be sure to follow the saftey instructions.

That’s what I was looking for. Or maybe tung oil? Same idea. I think either would work. Thanks.
