Thoer,

When you say 'insulated on the bare fiberglass in the cabinet' do you mean adding both insulation and liner or just the liner.

Re: Wet Bed

I painted all of our particle board with a primer plus 2 coats of finish in oil base. The plywood that is used for the 2 tables I varnished. Just seemed like the right thing to do.
