I just wanted to point out that hot does not equal lots of UV. It can get over 90 for weeks straight up north, but our Wood Pro Plus (West Marine branded Epifanes synthetic) has failed after 3 months due to the UV rays of the Bahamas and southern FL. Temperatures in the Bahamas were in the 80's, but the UV level is MUCH higher than up north, and that's what causes the breakdown of the chemicals. We also had lines deteriorate, our teak deck split in a couple of places, sunbrella degradation, etc. UV is VERY tough on boats, so I understand Eryka's question. Our next trial is to use Cetol Light plus the Cetol clearcoat on top of it. The clearcoat stuff is supposed to have added UV protectorates.
