This is what the guys here are talking about when referring to epoxy resin...and yes it's a bit pricey. Now this link is just for reference, shop around for best pricing.

epoxy with three coats has far better waterproofing characteristics.

however....a properly sealed poly glassed deck. will last 40 years with the same up keep.....and it is far cheaper.

Epoxy 'Sealers' are normally used for Varnish prep or Paint prep for wood. Not for a full deck seal up. And if you used anything less then Marine grade it will drink up more sealer then a senior prom date on lake habosue.

You need resin unless your going to use good quality wood for a subfloor to apply a teak and holly or some kind of 'flooring' .. then you can use your Sealer..
