want to protect new floor on trailer

I did my new trailer after the first year. I did mine with used motor oil on a hot sunny 90+ degree days and gave it two coats that summer. If floor is dry and its sunny and hot it doesn't take long for it to soak in. I do tarp my trailer in the winter.
 
Please ignore the illegal and in EPA violation comments fromt he eco-terrorists intent on polluting our ground water, and don't pant your trailers wood with a waste used oil.

there are plenty of other options.

Asphalt based fence paint cures environmentally inert and is DARN GOOD at protecting wood.

I have wood treated thusly on my flatbed that has been there 14ys now with no signs it's going anywhere soon.

And it doesn't leach out and poison the water I drink either!
 
You asphalt fence post paint is really not much better than used motor oil. Number one it is made from an industrial waste called coaltar. If you go to the asphalt fence paint and read the Tech Data Sheet It says "Harmful if you breath vapors and if it comes in contact with eyes or skin". It also contains chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects. So I would say its no better than used motor oil.
 
If you wanna sit on it, I'd probebly varnish it, go over it a few times and it'd probebly be pretty good. Or buy sealer like you'd put on a deck to protect it.
 
fortunately you are incorrect.. nor did you read my post.

The co i work for deals with both used oil and asphalt on a dialy basis.. I have the MSDS sheets in front of me..

When cured it is virtually inert, and NON reactive with respect to leaching and offgassing volatiles.

now which one of those, after reading all that do you want parked next to your well.

the one that 'once cool' it pretty much inert.. or the one that does all that other bad stuff.

I did my engineering thesis on water systems designs... Asphalt isn't a problem.. used oil is..
 
When you are talking of oil are you referring to used engine oil only or all oils? I have always used hyd. oil that I have changed in tractors.

Bob
 
Used motor oil, I roll it on in the middle of summer and not a drop gets on the ground. Use a 6" wide paint roller directly out of a 5 gallon bucket. Soaks in very well when the wood is nice and dry, I put at least two "coats" on. I have some floors going on 15 years old. More oil leaks out of running cars going down the road than from trailer floors. Better even than the "treated" lumber sold these days.
 
(quoted from post at 11:23:42 05/11/14) Please ignore the illegal and in EPA violation comments fromt he eco-terrorists intent on polluting our ground water, and don't pant your trailers wood with a waste used oil.

I have wood treated thusly on my flatbed that has been there 14ys now with no signs it's going anywhere soon.

And it doesn't leach out and poison the water I drink either!

The used motor oil SOAKS INTO the wood, and stays there. My trailer is parked on what is basically part of my back lawn, so there IS grass growing under the trailer. I treat the deck at least once per year, and the grass is STILL HEALTHY AND GROWING. If it was bad for the environment or the ground water, that grass would be dead.
 
rustyfarmall that is what I do with my trailer and hay racks. I have used hydraulic oil several times. I have one hay rack that I am going to replace the floor and it is over 40 years old and oiled and sets outside and has always been treat with used oil.
 
it's called leaching.

It's the same reason they don't use CCA treated wood on playgrounds.

plenty of grass there.. AND arsenic.

go figure huh!
 
(quoted from post at 14:02:50 05/16/14) i'm specifically addressing waste engine oil.

So am I. Figure it is much safer to apply that oil to a wooden trailer deck than it is to just dump it out on the road, which is my only other option for getting rid of it.
 
Soundguy,

Is there a specific brand of that paint you've had the best luck with? Does it make the deck slick? I just took delivery of a new 20+5 gooseneck a couple of weeks ago to haul my T-250 Bobcat (rubber tracks) and logs on and want to get the deck boards weather resistant.
 
I see this come up every now and then, same people same old stuff. I built 4 hay/ tobacco wagon flats in High School all Oak. I used oilbased paint on one latex paint one used oil on one and nothing on the last one. The first to need replaceing was the used oil, 2nd was the oil based paint 3rd was no treatment, latex was best but not by much. The oil holds dirt and moisture in my Ky climate.
 
no it does not make the deck slick. I used whatever house brand the farm and feed store had available for an asphalt fence paint. Only now 13? years later is it fading thru.

Appears that you have 'WAY too much time on your hands! How do you keep from getting polluted through your pores when you're working on one of your old tractors? :?:

AND - Last week I couldn't even spell enganeer - now I are one!
 
had all those msds on file for the stuff i work with.

as for chemicals and skin.. that's what gloves and aprons are for...
 
Soundguy,
Aweful lot of; could, might, maybes, used just in front of all those dangerous claims!! Not many ; did, will, does, Just Saying. Chum!!!
 

This works best for me!
Made out of Sunbrella material its Sun & rain proof. Guaranteed 10 yrs
Had it made in three pieces for ease of handling
Attached with Velcro.

I guess we have to have at least one "green yuppie" on the board to be politically correct. I like to pour old oil down groundhog holes to keep them from rusting.
