Heat resistant varnish

boomdocker

I'm making a lazy suzy from teak, mahogany and iroko
I'll need to finish it with some sort of heat resistant varnish as no matter how hard I try , the coffee pot or casserole dish will inevitably be left down on it...

Any suggstions?

Sadolins PV67 heavy duty varnish is about as tough as you will get. Its a two pack varnish applied by brush .Better to do it out in a shed as it will stink the house out.:rolleyes:

Have you considered inlaying brass wire, (like guitar frets are done) perhaps in circles or a grid pattern, to keep hot pots away from the surface? The brass for guitar frets is available in lengths?
