WOOD PROTECTION

[AURORA]

Has anyone found a product that will last longer than a year on wood exposed to the sun on yachts in the north Queensland climate.???
Varnishes dont last, any suggestions would be welcomed.

G'day Aurora,

And welcome to the YBW.com forums, You should fill in the details on your profile so we can provide better answers to your questions thou.

Protecting timber in a hot humid and very sunny environment is a labour of love and consumes a lot of time and money.

I tried this for many years and must admit I gave up. Replacing the timber grab rails with stainless steel and UV stable plastics.

Other areas were sanded and primed then coated with polyurethane 2 pack paint, got a great finish and very little maintenance required.

Have a look at this site <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.yachtpaint.com/intropage.htm>http://www.yachtpaint.com/intropage.htm</A>

I hope this helps....
