Hi

What varnish should I use for (treated softwood) wood that stays wet
more or less all day? The first stuff I tried failed very quickly

Thanks.

The 'standard' approach for modern wooden boats is a couple of coats of
epoxy (either West or SP Systems):

I'd go for the SP Systems because it comes with the dispenser pumps that
makes life a lot easier.

Followed by a few coats of International two pack polyurethane varnish:

If you do go down this route, make sure you have LOTS of ventilation and
the room is well sealed off from the rest of the house. The varnish in
particular is very unpleasant stuff.

Cheers
