Bar Top Finish

Bar top made of 2 layers of 5/8 MDF and 1 layer of 1/4 Red Oak plywood glued
up. Bar will probably wind up on the patio. (On oak barrel W/casters).
After staining, how should I finish the top so it will stand up to some
moisture and sun exposure? First thought was multiple coats of spar
varnish.

Thanks

I've used System 3 epoxy products under spar varnish; several coats
of epoxy fairly thin, sanding between for smoothness. Spar varnish
for UV protectant.
