Best advice here. Do not stray from TWP. I stained my front porch cypress posts two years ago with TWP (100-rustic) and they still bead water when wet. % of solids in their product is what makes the difference

Sorry for pulling a thread from the crypts.

How is it holding up 7 years in? Also, do you have pics? I’m considering TWP for my posts.

Check out GLEAM spar varnish. I used some recently and it was very easy to work with.

I can't vouch for longevity yet though.

ETA doh!...didn't realize this was such an old thread.

I have stained cypress. Does ok but over time they just suck up the stain. Mine are in bad need of it again. Definitely will look into the other things people mentioned when I redo them this spring.
