Two Pack clear

Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum so hello.
I have a solid timber vanity with a basin on top of it like that new modern look. Has anyone got a recommendation a clear varnish that is very resistant to water.... its not going to be flooded but you know water will get on the timber sometimes and i don't want it to last 6 months then rot.
I was told i could get some marine grade two pack varnish for this but where? (i'm in melbourne)
oh and whats teh best way to put it on? brush?
Thanks.

try eppicraft its a marine varnish . ships chandlery / boat shop . prepare as recomended ,and use in a well ventilated area. you can also use some floor finishes . cheers bob

cheers guys..... i might use floor varnish that's maybe the best way to go..very durable and i'm sure it will withstand some water for sure.

Thanks guys.

Watyl have a two pack (7008 I think) which I've used some time ago on a bathrom vanity and been very happy with its lasting power.

John.

Do you know what species of timber it is? (Hard to believe it would
rot in 6 months.) More likely the water will just penetrate the coating
and start making the underlying timber look crappy.

I've been experimenting with 2-pack "Everdure" by International.
I got it from Whitworths (a marine specialist). It's rated for below
waterline use on boats - provided it's applied correctly. On its own,
it gives a reasonably glossy finish, but you can put other International
products on top (e.g: "Perfection" 2-pack varnish, or "Schooner Tropical"
single-pack varnish).

Depends whether you want reasonable quality from an easy job,
or absolute top quality, no matter how difficult. If the former,
I've found that applying Everdure from a short-nap roller
(lint-free and rated for varnish!) is fair value for money+effort.
A foam brush is also not too bad. Whitworths sell suitable rollers
cheaply enough for one-job-then-dispose. (Most rollers from
ordinary hardware stores will fail if used for Everdure.)
