Exterior varnish (marine or spar) holds up better, but will breakdown after a few years. Bottom line is that it's hard to find a natural finish that holds up well outside over time due to constant sun and rain. Hi Kevin,

Will it protect it like Thompsans or am I better off using thompsons? I was thinking about applying a cherry stain to out door natural teak colored bench. If I do, can I use linseed oil as a cover or Thompsons. Is linseed oil good to use on outdoor benches? Will it protect it like Thompsans or am I better off using thompsons?
