Purple Heart - JKimel - 04-02-2018

What finish do you recommend for purple heart.  It will see minimal UV rays, currently is fairly purple after cutting and sanding, it's been about 5 days. 

I was thinking UV protection type of water based poly.

That's probably about as good of a choice as any.  Avoid anything oil based.  It will turn the purpleheart brown.

Here are the WB clear coats I know of with good UV packages:

Sherwin Williams Kem Aqua Plus
General Finishes High Performance  Poly
Target Coatings EM-9300

All can be sprayed but only the HP Poly is brushable.
