Have you considered looking into rubber "feet" to sit on the bottom of each leg to give a physical barrier? I'm thinking of something similar to what you'd see on a cutting board, but on a larger scale. Just a thought. -
I did West System epoxy on the bottom of an outdoor piece. I wrapped a couple of layers of blue tape around the legs so that it created a form about a 1/4" deep and poured the epoxy in two pours. -

To make a long story short, I've got to make two Adirondack chairs out of Red Oak and have them ready, painted and presented by Christmas. I've been told by soo many people how bad Red Oak would be for soaking up water and that they'd have to be repainted almost every year, but I have no time to get a more proper species so I'll have to go with what I've got. I'm writing to ask what I can do to make these chairs weather a little better. I've been told to coat the bottom of the legs with epoxy and that would help stave off water absorption. Does anyone have specific advice on how to do this? I've worked with two part epoxies plenty before now so this isn't totally unfamiliar territory. I'm assuming thinner epoxy would be better. The chairs will be sitting on concrete so maybe that'll help. I've also been told to paint all the parts separately before putting them together, and that this would help with not absorbing water as well. Any other advice on what I can do to help these chairs weather better? Thanks -
Thanks for the link Doug. The Neitra looks like it might work. -
