[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 427744, member: 13599"] Earl - you say that you use only Spar Varnish, yet the photo shows Polyurethane by Min Wax. that product is suggested for interior floors and furniture only. also - the mix ratio is not correct: one gallon of mix will last someone 75 years. one pint should be sufficient for the initial application. use "parts" instead of the whole quart as suggested. once thinned per the instructions, a little goes a long way. [ATTACH type="full" alt="OT Formula.jpg"]89618._xfImport[/ATTACH] please read my article: https://www.tinboats.net/varnish-vs-polyurethane I know that Min Wax " Helmsman Spar Urethane" is the most common varnish in the Big Box Stores - but - urethane is not very UV tolerant. IMO, they just tried to cover both bases by mixing the two products together. jus my Dos Centavos [/QUOTE]
