Outdoor Finishes

[@CraftedFractal]

This is an awesome overview! This combines a lot of great information I had learned from different sources

Thanks for sharing! I'm going to give the outdoor oil a try. I'd rather my client re apply every now and then than have to sand down and red-do a film finish.

Marc, I’ve found your commentary on out door finishes most informative. I’m considering making a full set of out door furniture dining table large for 12 people, 4 patio chairs, 4 side tables, and one 3 person sofa. The wood I’m seriously leaning towards using is Sapele. What finish would you recommend using. There will be some sunlight involved as will as indirect rain. Your thoughts please. Thank you for your guidance.

Thx for the great vid very enlightening. I am wanting to 100 percent waterproof a large table top that will see food contact. Can you suggest the products I should use? Thank you 👍

What do you recommend for an exterior door finish that you want to be easy to maintain over the years?

Can you polyurethane over teak oil

[@jamesschumacher7143]

I have some reclaimed, finished oak boards that I’d like to put to use in an outdoor project. Can I put an exterior finish over the top of the interior finish?

Wood sealer? Sealing a wooden slab for outdoor use. 🤔Epoxy project . Seal coat for epoxy application is what I'm looking for.

Which would you recommend on a bird house?

Hi Marc, Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with us! I'm completely clueless on this stuff. Got a question you may be able to help me with, please. I'm hand painting an Adirondack chair for a local municipality. They instructed me to use oil-based Rustoleum paints and to add a finishing coat of spar varnish. Well, I'm finished painting and am ready to varnish. But I've read online that oil-based spar varnish will yellow over time! :( Is it ok for me to brush on WATER-based spar varnish over all my oil-based paints? I hear the water-based version does not yellow. Any advice you have is appreciated as I'm utterly confused at this point! Just don't wanna ruin my hard work... Thank you, Chris

Is there a GF product that’s suitable for decks?

[@beckyb8929]

I don't know what makes General Finishes product any better than any big box store product that's half the price, since no info is available on it. Small tiny can is $30 at my local woodcraft. From what I can see it is just as petroleum based as anything else. They used to have a customer phone number and have great customer service, but I couldn't even find a place to email on their site. It would have been nice to have info on toxicity and some Greener products on this video. The reason to go to Woodcraft vs Home Depot is better service, better products, but I don't have any faith that this GF product is better - what is the evidence?

Helmsman spar urethane?
