RE: [AquaticLife] Re: Who rocks in this group?

 

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.
