Fiberglass over wooden deck

[fasteddy106]

Par, if one wanted to keep the transparency of a resin coating to let the grain of the wood show through, can epoxy be adequately treated to avoid UV damage?

[PAR]

Yes, epoxy coatings can be brightly finished with the usually suspects, shellac, varnish, polyurethane varnish or LPU clear coat. If the wood is 'glassed, then the fabric needs to be 4 ounce or less other wise the weave will show in some light conditions. This effect is more pronounced as the fabric weight increases. 6 ounce cloth is just barely visible for example.
