Hi all, Im looking for a long lasting exterior varnish I used Epifanes clear last year and found that it has cracked & peeled already.
Any advice would be magic

Thanks

I have used Crown yacht varnish without any problems

1. Always follow the instructions on the tin.
2. Dilute the first coat to aid penetration (see the tin).
3. Always sand with the grain.
4. Sand with fine wet and dry between coats.
5. About 5 to 6 coats should give a good finish.
6 Follow instruction 1.

You can get 2 pack varnish that sets to a hard finish that can be burnished, it lasts for years if you follow the instructions.
