If you put Spar Varnish on this it will look fantastic and shiney for
about 11 months. Then it will start to peel. No problem, simply sand
of every bit of it at that time and then reapply. Repeat every 11
months... forever. Even on a front door that is only partially
exposed, the best you'll get is two years off any varnish. Aslk any
boat owner about the word "refit."

OK, three votes for Penofin or an analog.

I will begin looking for a local supplier.

There are only forty one dealers within 50 miles of 95116.
