new top coat?

I have a wooded door that I made and coated with West Systems epoxy.

it road last year pretty good but recently got a belt sander so I thought I'd feather the edges a little better.

I didnt touch the bottom but the top still has some epoxy exposed where the sander didn't need to do any work.

do I need to get more west systems stuff or would marine poly eurathane stick to the epoxy?

hoping to save some time and jsut get a couple of coats of poly a d call it good

Marine polyurethane sticks well to West System epoxy. You're actually supposed to use it for UV protection as the epoxy is not UV resistant alone.

do you think Minwax Spar Urethane will do? I already have some of that.

anything better out there under $20 a can?

I use MinWax spar on all my wood boards. You won't find a good spar urethane for under $20. Boat shops sell the good stuff ~$40/can!!
