I have repeatedly scraped off, sanded down, primed and applied oil
based paint to the inside of our bathroom window (which is
continuously exposed to clouds of steam for short occasions).
The oil based paint (eggshell or Satinwood) obviously isn't doing the
job of keeping the moisture out of the wood. Does anyone know of a
better solution or product? I'm thinking of maybe a 2 part epoxy paint
or even varnishing it with fibreglass gelcoat.

Any suggestions welcome.

Zinc primer?

The wood is damp. You can't paint damp wood, only with a "breathable
paint", ie microporous which looks like s**t in a short time.
