Again, as below, light sanding with little or no pressure with 2000 grit paper on a soft sanding block will do the trick. All you want to do is lightly etch it. I have the same problem with a Scottish cote of arms on the deck of my sailboat.

Yes this is some of the best marine varnish available. You'll still need to make sure you follow the directions closely and re-apply a couple times per year if it takes a beating from the sun and moisture.

Yes, but like any other marine varnish it will need to be sanded lightly and recoated every year or two.

This is a water based coating. That being said, it is not likely to stick. You may "float" a coat on but it will offer no protection. It will easily chip and wear off. The wood must be dry for this to work

I was sealing brick steps to my front door last year. I put 2 coats on the steps. We had many weeks of ice, snow with temps in the lower single digits for 3 weeks at a time. This year it has been very hot and humid and these steps are in the hot sun until mid-afternoon. The product is still working since it is absorbed into the brick. Brick surface must be clean and dry before applying. I power washed my steps first and let them completely dry. My steps cover a very big area. You can try some and see if it will work on the brick you have!!! That's what I did and it worked for me!

Sorry-- I do not know the answer. You should ask a painter or someone with more expertise.

I applied it with a good quality paintbrush to seal my stone fireplace. It sealed it while leaving a completely natural look.

Hmmm - don't see why that wouldn't work - used the natural inside and out - so far no issues in a TN summer sun, but am aware I will need to refinish every year. Hopefully this helps.

I am not sure, but for outdoor applications with lots of sun exposure and weather, I like to use a marine varnish. It will last a long, long time.

Yes especially if it is an alloy box but if the box is made of wood you might want to seal and prime it with the high temperature primer first and make sure that there are no cracks before you go over it with the rust oleum high temp paint, for best results!

It withstands moisture very well, heat, not so much. I used this for angel wings for a Christmas play, easy to work with, and stood up to the paste, very well, but outside, I'm pretty sure wouldn't work for an outside applications.

The swing does not have a finish. I left mine unstained, but put 3 coats of Marine outdoor varnish, which turned out great. Do not use indoor/outdoor varnish if you intend to hang it outdoors. If you're going to paint it, I'd recommend Bulls Eye 1-2-3 primer with a premium exterior latex paint.

I would advise against varnish. You do not want to put an insulating material over electronics that can get hot. I also would not worry about ambient moisture, even on a boat. Just mount it vertically. If you are worried about it getting splashed, then you can Google, "Conformal Coating" and read up on it.

We live on a lake and the decor is partially exposed to the elements. I put on a couple coats of clear laq. + no problem yet

I would think you could because the plastic has an uneven finish to it. Perhaps an acrylic paint and then follow with a clear topcoat that is resistant to the weather.

I used it on some interior detailed brass statues They look great, and I expect the Brass Lacquer will preserve there brilliance for many years. I have a Copula on top of my Garage with a copper roof an a copper flying Goose weather vein on top. I haven't properly lacquered the roof yet but I did bring in the Goose & cleaned it very good & applied 2 coats of the Lacquer in October 2013 an it still looks great. It was the first time I had even thought about a protective coating to show off the copper finish. It seems a shame people purchase cooper or brass decorative outside attachments for their homes, as myself, and feel it the norm to let them fade to Patina (oxidation). When you can coat it and keep the cooper or brass luster you bought it for. I can't wait to Lacquer the Cupola roof. Longevity is a question an abuse from the elements, but for as good as it looks, it seems worth putting on the Spring Clean-up list. Hope this helps. Ya can't loose by trying. A proper cleaning & prep is the key before applying.

This item has a protective oil and polish finish. It is not considered "varnish" due to the harsh chemicals that will not pass the USA standards. Let us know if you have any further questions.

I don't think this is the product you want for that application. I would go with an outdoor wood coating such as spar varnish, there are a few sold here but here is one: Rust-Oleum 207008 Marine Spar Varnish 1-Quart

Yes, assuming the brick surface you are applying to is not getting too hot. It will be ok on a hot, sunny day on brick or concrete surfaces so that is a rule of thumb. It is not a specialty heat resistant coating.
