Try this link to various epoxies for marine use.

http://www.westsystem.com.au/

There is one technique to paint the epoxy (with the uv stabilisers) on to the timber and when cured paint the marine varnish.

When you need to refinish the varnish you only sand back to the epoxy. It works for boats.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jim
