The important thing is how does the finish stand up to direct sunlight.
As I mentioned earlier, spar varnish get kind of milky and yellowish
fairly rapidly when exposed to sunlight. It still holds up reasonably
well but probably isn't suitable for a wood dash finish.
What you want is something that maintains is clearness even after long
exposure to sunlight. Sunlight is a great oxidizer.
