Yes, I used "Thompson's Water Seal" first, applying 3 or 4 coats, then I
used a satin finish urethane on top of that after letting the "Thompson's"
dry well for up to a week. The idea was to use this on brood boxes so the
darker colour of the wood, would help warm the colony during winter.
Plus, they look nice! I paint my honey supers with a LATEX white paint.
So far the latex seems to be holding up, plus being easy to clean up...I
use several coats also.
