I need a durable, clear finish for wood.

I just used polycrylic on a project. I don't know how it will hold up long term but it went on well and it was two hours between coats with a light sand and tack between. Pretty straight forward.

I have an idea for something else made of plywood and I think I'll go this route for that project. Thank you for the link.

I though I'd add something for future thought. A family member used Rustoleum deck coating. He used it on a bench. The stuff reminds me of a less soft Rhino liner. He made me up a sample piece of pine to play with. The stuff is impressive. A bit more than a couple cans of bedliner, but the anti skid is better than the spray cans I've used in the past. Probally works on decks too.
