Dog urine on wood floor

Here is the "painted wood"....

My wife had these made and yes I know the spacing blows



One season in and her water based clear coat of some sort failed miserably

Would a spar varnish yellow out and flake too fast? I’ve used some spar varnish on desks I rebuilt for kids years ago.

First coat thinned out I think 50% and subsequent coats less thinning. Built up a nice hard finish that lasted very long time under kids abuse till we got rid of them.

I've never had luck with any varnish outside. Thought you were going to use it on the cabin.

I would do like Larry said use a good quality paint and just touch it up in the spring.

The paint hasn't been the problem, the surrounding stain is

 

[steve_64]

What's the problem?

 

[Mikey P]

Wind, sun, UV, chipmonks, hippies or something wore a considerable amount off...

Yep, marine spar varnish would help, but it is amber. Spar is soft, so it flexes. However, any clear finish can break down because UV goes through to the underlying surface. Paint is opaque and blocks UV.

I once sprayed a sign with some leftover clearcoat auto paint. Eventually the wood cracked, but the clearcoat never wore off.

Any body shop could do it for a song.

Finish finally came in..

As I left it..


After 3 coats..


After a light 0000'ing....

A properly applied varnish should last for 30 years

Is that anything like a “well formulated “ presprsy?
