I am replacing the boards, on my fresh water dock.
I want something pretty, so I'm going with Red Cedar.
It's a low traffic dock, so the soft nature of cedar, is fine.
I want it to stay red, so I want a UV finish on it.
I bought a can of this:
Even though it reads "clear", it had a brownish tint, when I opened the can.
I brushed it on a test piece, and it certainly made the red cedar look washed out, and dingey.
Is anyone aware of a finish I can put on this cedar, to make the color stay nice and red? I don't mind if I have to redo it every year or two.
