Here in the perpetually drenched Pacific Northwest, my bar doesn't seem to have a chance. I got mine in this last spring, a 2006 Target model on clearance- what a beauty! (I just don't have the clams for the real thing, so I'll keep dreamin'...) After putting it together in May, I gave it a good thick layer of spar varnish and it was put to great use outside all summer long. As October turned to November, I noticed many sturdy little patches of mold all over the place. I scuffed it out with some soft steel wool, dismantled it an put it in my outdoor shed. (NO room in the house) It's been in the shed for barely 2 weeks and the mold is back big time. I aint to proud to ask for a lil' help here - I know I've gotta finish or spray it, but with what? Any and all help would be great, folks. -Tiki Joe's Pop, soaked.
