clear water based epoxy over acid stain

[stealman]

I have the acid stain done and have the clear epoxy here. My shop gets a lot of sun through the south facing side. I am second guessing this clear coat. What does this stuff look like after years of sun exposure? And does it hold up under this condition? This shop will be used for woodworking, fixing cars and motorcycles and hobbies. I chose this finish as a step up from acrylic because I want some chemical resistance. I am now thinking it might be the wrong way to go.

I'm at the same spot you are - just applied acid stain and trying to make final decision about what to seal with............

I used Kemiko stain then their sealer. It's holding up very well at the shop door where it gets the evening sun. The coca stain shows, but the sealer doesn't present any darkening, etc.
