[QUOTE="rcaircraftnut, post: 475720, member: 24380"] Got two gallons of spar urethane oil base. Closest thing I could get to spar varnish. ACTUAL varnish was not available in a gallon and was super spendy. Epoxy would have been cheaper, would have went that route but it's a 10+ day shipping and I can't afford to lose 10 days possibly more. Summer is only so long. Lol. Also was able to get 4 sheets of 3/4" maple cabinet grade for $52+tax each. Cheaper than Marine and it was available. I'm aware the glue isn't waterproof. But if it gets wet that won't matter as it will rot anyway. So I am going to do at least 3 coats of spar urethane more if I have enough. Should be fine after it's all together and the epoxy gets here I will epoxy Coat the entire top deck surface sealing it like a countertop. Going to use stainless steel self tapping screws counter sunk into the decks and epoxy over them. [/QUOTE]
