Reg Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I remember seing a thread on it, but can't find it now. Somebody suggested to just cut up the trim board, and that's what I wanted to do. I am just not sure what type of wood should I use, and does it have to get varnished (or water sealed in any way), or can it just be used plain?

MarieJeanette Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 The link that ScentLady gave you is a good one. That's pretty much how I do mine.I don't know exactly what kind of wood that my trim is made from, but just going by looks, I bought the same decorative wood trim that the E-How site shows in their pics. I bought mine from Lowe's. After I cut and sand the dishes smooth, I put a couple of coats of waterproof varnish on them. You can get the one they show on the E-How site, or you can use a different one if you can't find that particular one. I myself use a clear gloss spray varnish. It's called Helmsman Indoor/Outdoor Spar Urethane. The can says it protects from sunlight, rain and moisture and temperature changes.
