I have an outdoor tiki bar that had mold on the counter. It wouldnt l come off with soap so i used bleach and water. Its coming off now but ive been going at it for a couple days now. They are slats at the top and a cream not a brown countertop like yours. Any advice on what to put on for sealing and colour?

I'm sorry, I'm just seeing your question. I'm not sure how I miss my notifications at times. I recommend using a 220 grit sand paper and a palm sander to get down to the raw wood again. You can buy one for about 30 or 40 bucks. As far as color, That would have to be your preference. You can us an exterior or an interior stain since you will be apllying the Spar Urathane over it. I recommend 3 coats and using a high gloss. Read the directions on the can to check for drying time between coats.
