Using Clean Armor 705 Exterior Clear Coat for an outdoor maple bench

Originally posted on our Instagram channel: / c7zl166av-u
This is the last of the owner’s maple slabs we’ve been working with for her art gallery projects, with some of the most incredible character we’ve ever seen: spalting, curl, worm holes, birdseye, you name it, it’s in there!
It will be an outdoor bench, exposed to the elements. So we decided to use the new @cleanarmor UV curing resin finish we discovered*. This time, their Wood 705 exterior satin clear coat. Compared to the interior 700 finish we first tried, both are free of dangerous VOC (volatile organic compounds) & HAP (hazardous air pollutants), provide a completely waterproof and durable finish but this one has additional protection against constant UV exposure and its damaging effects, like wood discoloration. We want all that beautiful figuring to be well preserved!
*This is completely unsponsored content. We discovered @cleanarmor on our own and purchased the products ourselves to determine if they are a good fit for our finishing workflow.

I've been using it for 6 months or so. Love it!!!

I'm wondering what you would think about using this product as a UV barrier for an epoxy base coat? I'm building a stand up paddle-board with a fiberglass mesh suspended in a marine epoxy. I need a finish coat that will protect the epoxy from UV. May I also ask where you purchased the product?

I think it would work man. Where are you located?
