I used that helmsman spar poly on my canopy (over blk stain). I used the satin, which still came out fairly glossy, but looks good. The only prob I'm having is with the lid. I scratched it while sanding the first top coat, so I sanded back down to the wood up to 320 grit, but now can't get the grain to show through the stain. Must be missing something..
This staining has turned into a million more steps than I was expecting. (1st try at staining). Good luck.
