I'm looking for either a poly (one or two part) or alkyd coating for application on wooden boats (teak,bamboo,oak, & koa)some with a fiberglass coating. It has to have very strong UV protection and must remain clear long after application. Any help would be appreciated.

Clear UV protection for boats
- Thread starter Kringle
- Start date
Most homemade wooden boats and canoes would be coated with clear expoxy resins such at that obtainable from a source like WEST Systems. These types of epoxy resins are specifically designed to be very transparent. Since the resins are not UV protected, they are top coated with a good quality marine grade spar varnish. Try looking through WOODEN BOAT magazine for sources.
