Epoxy. Which must in turn be covered with an UV inhibiting finish
because UV breaks down epoxy rather rapidly.

So what constitutes a UV inhibiting finish that can be used over epoxy?

1. Paint
2. Varnish that says it has an UV inhibitor.

In both cases, the amine blush has to be washed off the epoxy
beforehand.
