Oar finish question

All, Perhaps better asked in a boating group but I watch this group more. .... I have a set of oars we keep with a small boat on small family pond in Kentucky. They had pretty well deteriorated last trip so I brought them home to reglue and refinish. I used gloss poly last time and it lasted about seven years. They usually get stored under the boat but you know the way kids are and such so they often end up getting exposed. I rinsed them in a mild bleach that killed all the mold, Gorilla glued them back together, then sanded. I'm thinking some sort of marine epoxy finish. Any thoughts on what would be the most durable?

Hi Allen,

Spar Varnish should work quite well. I usually put >All,

A little warm oil is always good, rub with a firm hand, otherwise they tend to giggle a lot.

Thanks all who posted. Looks like spar varnish (of which I happen to have fresh can) and a little more attention more often.
