Bristol Finish Traditional Amber Urethane originated over 20 years ago, when our company founders grew frustrated with trying to keep a varnish finish on antique and classic yachts in the tropics. They thought that there must be a better way than constant refinishing every three months. Also, the labor required took forever - one coat per day, and the weather (of course) never cooperated. So, take a chemical engineer with a passion for antique wood yachts, and life in the tropics - these frustrations, not to mention a bit of laziness, led to many years of experimentation and testing. The result? The finest exterior wood coating that is available today - Bristol Finish Traditional Amber Urethane.
