Paint and Varnish
For many years builders of wooden boats have used a combination of two-part epoxy resins and marine spar varnishes to make "furniture quality" clear-finished watercraft. That these boats look good after several years of outdoor exposure is testament to the synergistic effect of using these products together. The same techniques can be used to protect many wood projects, allowing them to be left outdoors uncovered for months at a time without fear of the finish failing, the wood warping, splitting, or discoloring, and joints coming apart.
