Having no architect or building experience, didn't know the varnish was used as your sealer. Thanks for the intel...my feeble mind didn't make the connection. :)

No worries Vamp! :)

The nice thing about that partic-u-lar brand is that it is Water Based. ( kinda like THAT awe-fool coors ligit sitting next to it. That's my better half's brand :)

Just remember that many THIN coats are better than one Thick coat. And, each coat takes a good 48 hours to cure. Sand between with 220 if needed. Colder temps longer cure time.
( the can always lies!!)

I suggest everyone should use it for outdoor stuff.

A cheap hOme Depot garden sprayer works well (if you thin it a bit) for applying it to thatch etc. Mix it with http://www.flamestop.com stuff too, or layer it.

I know most of you don't like glossy stuff.

I like Glossy Stuff cause it reminds me of the palm trees in the a.m. in Hawaii just after a light rain.

Also, Gloss is always the strongest. It will fade to flat over time. Flat will fade to nothing sooner.

My PSA for the year. :)
