I tried to post this earlier, I hope i'm not redundant.

I finished my metallic steel shop in July. I finished my running air lines in strategic locations. I finished the lights. That was a tough one for me, and the people that contributed on here. I over thing a lot of this. I also treated the floor with a densifier, which has proved to be effective.

I put a waynes coating of tin about 3' high. I was looking for old tin, but I couldn't find much and it was about the same price as new.

After installing the waynes coating I wasn't sure what I was going to put above the waynes coating. I was thinking plywood, but one day a few weeks ago I was in a store that had cedar siding in it. I started asking about it, and ended up buying enough to complete the shop.

That looks pretty sharp! :thumbup: How are you going to finish off the top couple of feet? Also, are you going to protect the cedar with something? I think a water based gloss polyurethane would really make it pop.

I'm leaving the top the way it is. I'm looking for ideas on how to treat it. What is it about water based gloss polyurethane that makes it a good choice?

I'm looking for ideas on treatment, is there any treatment, that is natural, that includes a fire resistant property?

That's an idea.

In the past year I saved two high dollar collector cars from total destruction because of careless fuel line assembly. One was inside and the other was about to drive away. **** doesn't have to happen but it does !

Look into 'waterglass' sodiumsilicate
