Now the weather is turning, it may be a struggle...... :?:

I'm thinking of doing a solar panel like yours myself cos that is truly awesome. A nice thing is that you link and describe everything you do. keep them pictures coming 8)

It took some time to read the whole tread . . . but what a nice Westy you've got! Mycha attended me on the solar panel (and the cold beers 8) ).

Got some wood panels to probably stain, lacquer, wax. Would be interested to hear some options to finish the wood, I don't do wood, so it's a bit new to me, what options are there?

Bluesnailman said:Looking great! For wood I used beeswax on the headlining as not too shiney, and I thought it would mellow well over the years. I wanted something that would pick up a bit of patina. Think I used two or three coats with a brush on tin from local hardware store. One year on - no longer looks 'new' or out of place. D

I was recommended this stuff. Put it on without the fuss of sanding and reapplying. It will be one of my jobs coming up soon.

It's supposed to be damn near indestructible from what I've read! 8)
The finish looks a little "lumpy" in places though. How does the finish compare to stonechip texture? Hard to tell from some of the pictures
