I don't know what's up with LMF and at this point I don't care anymore, I just need some Permalyn Sealer. Since the national stock is depleted with no re-stocking on the horizon, is there a mixture of readily available stuff that can replicate it?
 
Are you saying Permalyn is just a poly-u spar varnish repackaged? Or are you saying it's a usable substitute?

@IanH , what brand to you recommend, and can you put a top coat of Tried & True Varnish Oil over it after you've cut it back?
 
Just skip the poly junk (including Permalyn) and stick with T&T varnish oil. Don't thin it, not even for the first coat. Put a thin smear of it on a piece of glass or clear plastic packaging material and Don't even think about putting another coat on the stock until that smear is dry. This might take a month, but will take at least a week. Four, very thin, hand-rubbed coats will do nicely.
