Back exterior doors looked to be part of a fairly new remodel.
They are solid wood, framing a large glass panels, with what appears to
be a simple poly top coat that has been beaten by sun and rain and
almost completely gone near the bottom.
Yes, I've neglected. Something about a shoemaker's sons. :-)

I want something that will last the longest and withstand the sun and rain.
I'm toying around with an epoxy product similar to this...

I've seen several applications of this and similar products and they
seem to be like virtually dipping the object in plastic. The stuff seems
to be impervious to anything, including sun and water. I wouldn't mind
spending a hundred bucks on this stuff it it's going to protect like I
think it will.

Has anyone used it in an exterior application?




Check the instructions on it if you can get them. I use a lot of this
stuff for bars, tabletops, etc. and most of them say not for exterior
use. The stuff tends to yellow with age when used outside and I don't
know what else it may do.

I have a few projects that I did for outdoors and they are ok, but that
was West Marine stuff and it is for outdoor use.

Just saying it can be done, but make sure you use the right stuff.
