Refurbing an open top hood for a 6ft tank. Lights will be mounted inside, blah, blah, blah.
The facings is all PINE. I'm spending a lot of time belt sanding all the OLD paint off bc its bubbling with saltwater sneaking underneath the paint over the last 15yrs.
QUESTION....
Once I'm down to bare pine wood.....
1) paint it with an oil-based enamel???

2) stain it with an oil-based stain???
