Been working on the deck rails. Last time I did them I used a wipe on polyurethane on the advice of my dock neighbor, but it didn't last, within 4 months it was grey and flaky. I stripped and sanded eveything down to bare wood, that's 3 coats of oil-based semi-gloss spar urethane on so far, I think it will need at least another 2 and maybe 3 coats. If she's going up on the hard for 9 months I need something that will last. I think it's looking pretty good. It's taken a couple of weeks, it's been down in the 40s and really humid so it's taking a loooong time for each coat to cure.
