On Persistence we use Cetol Light on handrails and toerail. At least one maintenance coat per season. Around companionway and hatch boards we use Epiphanes varnish. We do this because the interior has a lot of varnished wood and the companionway wood pieces like to match. Also maintenance coats every year or two.

I skipped the varnish and the epoxy and used Cetol. I would never use epoxy on any exterior wood that you can't cover. If you can cover it, you don't need epoxy. One ding in the epoxy finish and you are pretty much guaranteed to have to wood them down and start over. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On Tue, 19 Feb 2019 at 13:14, Steven A.

It soaks into the wood and seals everything (not to mention looks exceptional). Since the epoxy isn't UV protected, cover it with 3 or 4 coats of varnish. You may have to clean and reapply the varnish as usual, but the penetrating epoxy will last for life and keep the wood sealed.

They are coming up quite well BUT do I epoxy and then 3-4 coats of varnish or just put the varnish on an skip the epoxy? _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
