I'm replacing a couple of window sills with red oak. Using Watco danish oil
(natural) and was thinking about using poly over it. Then I remember reading
even outdoor poly can peel and turn yellow in sunlight and moisture.
I think just the oil will be fine, just re-apply every now and then when
needed.
Think this will be o.k.?
Thanks
Jimmy,
I've had excellent results on sills and other projects using Watco and
poly together 50/50 mixture with 2 final coats of straight poly.
I use a brand called "Man 'o' War". It's for gym floors.

Doubt it.
You need a poly with UV inhibitors for outdoor applications such as is
available from marine chandlers.
