One year ago I restored a garden love seat. The cast Iron ones you see at Home Depot.
This one was somewhat older and has some cool flowers cast into the metal.
Anyway I took the thing apart and did my own Electrolysis on the metal and replaced the wood with White Oak. ($$$$$$$$$)
I planned it and routed it and was happy so I went to Home Depot to purchase some "Marine Grade Varnish."
The chair sits in the garden year round and if we Californians do a proper rain dance we may get some sprinkles.
I forget the brand but I did follow the directions on the can to the letter. I put four coats on the wood.
One year later and the wood is all black. (Mold, Mildew?)
Anyway now that it is cooler I plan to do it all over again. This time I want to purchase a better quality clear varnish and am asking all the Mates on here for their advise. (Do Captains work?)
What brand of varnish can I rely on to last more than one year?
Thanks,
