I have used Waterlox for years on furniture and bowls. I had to buy another can recently and needed to decide which kind to get. In the past I had used the Marine finish and was pleased with the results. Since I hadn't used any in awhile I went to the Waterlox site and read up on their various products. Invariably the site said a sealer was required before the top coat. I have never used a sealer under the Waterlox and haven't noticed any problems. Am I missing something here? I think the Marine Waterlox has more UV protection but I don't know if there is any other difference between the Marine and the Original finish. Does the Original go on easier? Soak in more? It seems according to the site that the Marine is maybe not as tough as the Original since they say not to use the Marine in areas with heavy foot traffic. The site says the Original can be used outside if out of direct sunlight. I probably went with Marine Waterlox since I don't like the can the Original comes in. If anybody has experience using the sealer before the topcoat, please let me know. Thanks.
