...as a way of adding a pattern on the deck of their boat? I can think of several ways this could be used creatively, if a permanent color change can be achieved and maintained. Will tan lines fade over time if they're under a UV inhibiting varnish? Will products such as 303 UV protectant preserve the color of the wood under the finish?
