Has anyone used it in an exterior application?


Epoxy has no more innate immunity to UV than any other coating--the
manufacturer says specifically that it will yellow in exterior exposure
which implies that it doesn't have the heavy dose of UV barrier that a
coating intended for exterior use would have.


Take a look at

&familyName=AwlBrite+Clear+Gloss+Base, which is specifically intended
for exterior use under harsh conditions.


Thank you for actually reading my post and replying with relevant,
helpful info. * :-)


I noticed this part from that link:
"Ten coats are recommended."

Now don't skimp and try to squeak by with only eight or nine
coats.
