Making multiple tables out of cypress. Which would be the best clear coat finish for indoor and outdoor use?

For that application I would say use a spar varnish. If you have a supplier near you I would recommend Mohawk exterior door and trim varnish. A better but much more expensive finish would be Epifanes wood finish available at boat suppliers.

I would use Penofin Red label clear. It's a high UV finish that's an easy maintenance finish. Requires no sanding to reapply.

There you go, three choices for you now.

I would use Target EM9300 WB Clear Polycarbonate Urethane. Order online or by phone.

Thanks y'all. I'm going to have to brush it on so which is better for brushing?

IMO, Penofin...brush it on...wipe it off.

A spar varnish as well as Mohawks door and trim varnish and Epifanes varnish would brush fine.
