Finish on vintage wooden water skis
#2
I build Adirondack chairs using vintage wooden water skis. The last one I did had a severe finish failure often being in the sun for a year or two.

I want to give them a couple coats of a good exterior “varnish”. Generally I like water passed poly but am considering oil based. The skis typically have a varnish like finish, some are painted.

I think I need to do a coat of clear shellac, then water based poly for the ease of clean up and quick dry time.

What say you?
