marine varnish over varathane?

I can’t say I’ve done it, but I see no reason why the two finishes would be incompatible. The marine varnish just has more UV inhibitors in it.

i believe there both an oil based finsih and should work just fine…but ive never done that combo personally., but my thought is it should be ok..stripping it would be way to much work..your idea of a deck finish is a good one..as it would age gracefully and applying it is a breeze..

Both will fail at the wood / finish intersect eventually and require sanding to bare wood. I’d use Cetol.
