I am building a Monkey Tailed Skink cage now. And for the finish I am using the gym floor type urethane. Great wear resistance, and as Chris mentioned...same price.
And I agreee with BigT...oil based poly works for many applications. And resists moisture extrememly well. Before I carpet a boat floor, I coat it heavily with oil based Polyurethane. I never had to replace a floor in less than 5 years.I did however, dry the wood for a long time.
If polyurethane is done right, you should get a glass like finish. Instead of 3 coats though, I use 5. Sanding between the coats. The finish rivals epoxy.
And again in agreement with BigT...50/50 mix on thinner and poly for the first sealer coat.
That creates a good finish to begin sanding.
But I still do like spar poly's too...but prefer oil based poly.
