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?

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

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

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your
pocket and then giving Fido only two of them.

Hi Allen,
Spar Varnish should work quite well. I usually put on 3-4 coats and
wipe down with #0000 steel wool between each coat.

My oars have 7 coats of International Flagship varnish with two coats added
every spring. They look like new and are over 20 years old. NOTHING, that
is, no clear finish will last more than a year without care!
