Make sure that is a UV varnish of course...
I'm wondering if the black coloring in the epoxy will inhibit it?

Seem to remember you and some others don't like it, Tony, but wasn't sure of your reasons?

For me, it takes forever to dry. But maybe that's just what real varnish does.
I'm glad you brought this up because I need to treat my fiberglassed wall ends in the galley for UV and had forgotten about it.

If it's stored in full sunlight, it's going to age fairly fast no matter what you do. The black Rustoleum would be as good as anything for durability, but the UV is pretty "hot" at 5,000' & very little cloudy weather in ABQ. That's why the Tortoise was under a cover in the back yard in Tucson, just too hot & bright in the summer. Glad to be in Raton now & parked inside a garage.
