West system pros?

[roblg3]

Is there a UV protectant that can be added to the 105 -207 combination?  Is this even necessary?  The wood is maple and black walnut unstained.  My uncle who taught me a ton of woodworking is asking me about this since apparrantly being the very novice finisher I am he thinks I know what I'm talking about...HA!  yeah right.  When I don't know I do try to find out though...
Thanks if you can help!

i think I found the answer on the west systems website.  The epoxy coating is NOT intended to be the finish coat.  It needs uv protection.  I use UV stabilized CV for my top coats so that's a good thing, but I don't think it's intended for exterior use  [unsure].  Now what?  spars urethane for the top coat instead??

I have used WaterLox as a topcoat over a West System epoxy base with no issues.  Waterlox makes a UV Exterior finish whose name escapes me at the moment.

Coating with a good Spar varnish with UV protection works well, just need to keep vanish fresh for the UV protection.
