Mine is finished and sealed with thinned epoxy, it is liquid proof, extremely durable and perfectly clear. A bit more time consuming then a spray on type however.

X2 what MinnFlyer said.
I put four coats of high gloss polyurethane on my field box. Sanded between coats...smooth as glass and the grain of the wood really pops out.

hello,
what's a field caddy??
and about the fuel proof spray? try Rustoleum and Krylon..polyurethane..
neither is fuel proof but i guess, they're all fuel resisting.

Unfortunately epoxy is not ultraviolet proof. Your epoxy finish will last longer if you cover it with a good quality (maybe marine) varnish with ultraviolet filters. My 2 cents.

As Minnflyer said, Polyurethane. I've done exactly that with my model stand and it is perfectly protected.
Don't over engineer this. I might offer the suggestion that you follow what experience has shown. No need to go into exaggerated expense.. simply use Polyurethane.. a few coats and you're done with it.
I've done that and it works just fine.
