Bob. I wonder if your "Epifane" is the same as "Epithane" I get down here in NZ. It's an Inernational/Epiglass product. Two pot Polyurathane. I have used it extensively and with excellent results. The first "trial" hatch has had it on for 18mths now and still looks good as new. It is in the Sun all day and gets walked on and yet has no scratches. I even splashed some paint on it and removed the dry paint with thinners. It took the paint off and never touched the poly. I also dropped a hatch the otherday. It was my main engine room hatch and is huge and heavy. All it did was dent the wood. It never cracked or scratched the Poly.
I am also trying an Altex version of it right now. I am using it on my rubb rails. Must say, the Altex wasn't as easy to use out of the can. But lets see what happens with time.
IMO, I will never use a single pot product outside again.
