Default Which varnish?

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.


Hi,

Where did the varnish fail, along edges, round knots or all over?

Is the wood exposed to sun, or temperature cycling?

How many coats on the wood were there, and was it coated 100% all over
including any hidden faces?

It sounds like you've varnished some planed tanalised timber, for use
in a shower or bathroom.

cheers,
Pete.
