Hi everyone,
Doing a search here I came across two things of note. First it seems that there are very similar products on the market at Home Depot currently. One of those must be through the roof money wise, they won't even quote a price directly on the net. I got interested in this thread because I may build my own stand and just found out last night that my old standby-by, Polyurethane is not as it use to be.
Oh well, few things are these days! In any event here are the links:
http://www.homedepot.com/buy/lanco-marine-master-1-qt-oil-ultra-spar-marine-varnish-mm300-5.html
http://www.homedepot.com/buy/varathane-1-gallon-clear-gloss-spar-varnish-242179.html#more_info
Both of these products came up on my search. Remember one thing if you follow along and read the links. The marine is only for a QT.! The Varathane is for a gallon. Note the pricing-.........and sit down when you do!

Spar Varnish is a marine type varnish and is very hard. Most local type
hardware stores carry it or can get it. Not sure of the HomeDepot's and
Lowe's. I know that ACE Hardware's at least have access to it if they don't
carry it and most can order on a weekly basis.
