Unfortunately, our clear topical sealers such as AFM Acrylacq don't provide UV protection because the chemicals that block UV are not safe. However, our AFM Durotone or Bioshield Aqua Resin Stain both contain mineral pigments that block UV fairly well. If these stains are used initially, then it will help protect the wood from UV. Of course, that would replace your aniline dye.Other options to consider are Vermont Natural Coatings Polywhey Exterior Stain or Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Oil. These both are stains and sealers all in one and are designed to mitigate direct UV light.
