Default What type of clear/protectant should I use for the beer pong table?
Well my roommates and I decided to convert the ping pong table into straight beer pong. I know it doesnt look "good"(we've all seen the "nice" ones, and thats not what this one is). But it'll do the job for being an outside table. Anyways. We did it a couple days ago. And obviously, with the rain, its messing it up/welting the wood a little on the sides. Is there anyway to stop this? We didnt spray any kind of clear or anything on it. Just sanded it down/spray painted it. Also, dont talk **** about the bobcat. Its not that easy . I might try again sometime. Heres some pics of our $10 worth of paint beer pong table We're going to add more.

The bobcat does look pretty good. Just your average paint sealer should work for beer/rain and such

At least our bobcat has an eye and only took us 10-15min. Its staying outside, so we didnt care too much.

Got any pics? We were thinking about using smoked plexi-glass on top of ours.

I'll try to remember to post some when I get back to school this weekend. Nothing special really, just your standard glass top beer pong table that glows. Constructed under complete sobriety of course Just like my stripper pole hahaha
