claq50! a mapp torch is perfect for lines and larger dark areas around eyes in nostrils etc... as for sealer i use spar urethane at least two coats in either satin or semi gloss depending on finish shine. as for deck sealer that works pretty well if you soak it dwn good and dont forget the bottom!!! sealer will give you a very natural look and you can get it w stain in it but i think it would go to places you realy dont want stain so.. it could work well espescialy in clear but remember deck sealer states it needs to be recoated every 6 months to a year. i too live in south florida and i have had great luck w spar urethane and marine urethane also,spar bein a little cheaper. hope this helps and holla anytime if i can help i wld be glad to and there is a wealth of info on this site as well!!! cheers!
