Love the bench Mark, great job. I would like to respond to Stevecater comments on the ML Campbell products verses the varnish. It is true that the Krystal is a good product; however it is tough to maintain. Also the epoxy/varnish system can be sprayed, just like the krystal. The varnish system is easy to repair, and recoat. The epoxy in this system helps to fight dry rot, and stops active dry rot in its tracks. Also when it does come time for that top up coat, you can purchase the varnish by the quart. The post catalyzed urethanes only tend to come in gallon kits, and are particular about their reducers. I have used the solvent based urethanes, on many projects, and love them, but I think the epoxy/varnish system is best, when applied correctly. Plus if you apply extra coats of varnish at the start of the project, you can possibly add several more years to the life of the finish. One the other hand, if the thickness build on post catalysed products exceeds 6 mils, it becomes unstable, and could crack once it reaches full cure.
