      I’m in the process of building a 8′ tiki bar for my pool patio area this summer. What is the best way to weatherproof/preserve the wood? Thanks in advance for your help.

        Leo,

        Since it will be outside, why not stick with natural a substance like varnish. I know that the pour on two part apoxy is great for inside but not for outside use. Just be sure to buy a finish material that is made for use where uv rays are present.

          I’m at the finishing stage for my outdoor bar…

          Finishing the bar top this weekend.

          I’ve ordered clear epoxy from http://www.MrFiberglass.com

          I plan on putting some football cards / coasters on the table top, and having the acrylic coating over it.

          For the top layers of acrylic I am using Envirotex EX-74. It has UV Protection built in to aid against yellowing. From what I read with the top layers being of this material it should be sufficient to impede the yellowing.
