I used the Epifanes Wood Finish product over sanded raw teak and mahogany when i restored a 1967 Bristol ,and it held up for 5 years without any problems in salty conditions.

Gotta know the wood was dry though after 33 years. Did re-coat every year.

I liked it because you could re-coat within 72 hours without sanding.
Ended up using 18 coats on the original finish as it was so easy to apply without sanding and was the deepest luster i have seen.

No yellowing.

Slip told me link was to that product .. What is it ?? 2 part urethane ? varnish ? They said no uvl protection can be added to varnish? yellowing seems to be associated with uvl protection .. I'm getting nuts again ..

Eddie sounds like you've replaced your Creek Chub Encyclopedia ,to "Wood Finishes And How They Drive You Crazy" on your night stand.

The Epifanes Wood Finish is a varnish that contains Tung Oil and Phenolic Resins,whatever they are , and UV protectors.

They use it on boats in the tropics where regular varnish won't hold up under the tropical sun. Tung oil is a great sealer.
Gives a beautiful mirror finish but i have never tried it on plugs as i don't know how it would adhere to paint.
Of course $30 a Qt has nothing to do with it.

Have to start with a 10% solution, very thick, and go up to 50% then 100% so it's multiple coats, but no sanding within 72 hours.

If you try it , use the Gloss finish and crank up your paint box cause it stinks worse than U pol.
