Guess what. It was not so UV resistant.

Would you care to share what product was used and how much exposure it has had to sun and moisture? We always are interested in finding out how well our tests compare to real world experiences.

Also, Green Machine is exactly right. The test boards have been in the weather for 4 years 24-7 and the painted boards still look great and all the natural finishes have long since failed.
