Fixing outdoor table finish

[Dave Rosner]

Refinished this table last year with general finishes exterior stain and then their exterior finish. Any way to fix these areas that peeled down to bare wood or do i have to strip the whole thing down and start over? Was thinking maybe use a dye instead and it will just get to the bare spots then a couple of finish coats...

Film finishes and outdoors are not generally a good mix. You'll have to strip it at start over, IMHO, as any "repair" will be immediately evident. It's best to use a penetrating finish that doesn't form a film in an outdoor situation.

Agree with Jim. And...I just don't think that even the best exterior finishes can compete with out of doors colors. I would
put a bright blue tarp on it for off duty,or brief rest. And a colorful cloth covering underneath the tarp for meals and more lengthy rests .

So is that an Epifanes or Sikkens Cetol product that you recommend? or is it something else?
