White oak inside a screened, covered porch. Poly or spar? - ®smpr_fi_mac® - 01-22-2024 I'm building a table top from white oak that will be inside a screened, roofed porch. Oil based poly or spar varnish? For all my boat stuff I used varnish. Customer wants a thick, tough finish applied. What would you recommend? RE: White oak inside a screened, covered porch. Poly or spar? - fredhargis - 01-22-2024 I'd stick with a true spar varnish. Even protected that way it will still be subject to the humidity changes outside. A spar wouldn't be my first choice for a table top...except in these conditions. RE: White oak inside a screened, covered porch. Poly or spar? - jteneyck - 01-22-2024 One of the spar/marine varnishes available at Total Boat, and nothing from a big box store. John RE: White oak inside a screened, covered porch.

Yah that make some good stuff RE: White oak inside a screened, covered porch. Poly or spar? - rwe2156 - 01-29-2024 I used Total Boat Gleam on some deck chairs and really like it. 2 coats of gloss/3 coats of satin. I started out spraying but went with brushing. Seems like it would have taken 8 coats to get what I wanted. It brushes very well and levels out good is you use the brushing thinner. |
