[at-l] Handy(Wo)Man Question

[Jan Lite]

So, all you helpful types,

Thanks! Keep the comments coming.

1) Exterior grade clear polyurethane vs. "spar" varnish...
why? which?
pros, cons, considerations... ???
Expected life?

2)No epoxy to strengthen the aging fibers?

3) Is washing first a necessity? Some of that crevice dirt is "historic"

I know it will change the appearance some whatever I do.
