Which varnish should I choose??

Hello

I found one polyurethane waterbased at home depot. It does not say non toxic.
The brand is bher.

http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/store...ogId=10051

I went and then the guy told me if he was me, he would buy that. the brand is varatane, and the product is a waterbased varnish for outside. He told me it is resistent to UVB and the rain.

Or he told me I could buy polycrilique waterbased brand mixwax.

let me know what you think

Here is the site for the winmax

It says that is should not be used on a floor.

Itort, you would go with the Behr product, the polyurethane waterbased?

Thanks

Yup..looks like a good one to me. I used a the minwax, but it's basically the same thing.

I've use the Behr polyurethane waterbased before (not on a tortoise table), but I liked the product and would go with it. I plan to use it on my next tort table.

Yes, I would. The other product say not to use on flooring and I think the others would be more likely to show scratchs from day to day tort activity. Otherwise they would all work fine.
