Spar varnish - is this for boat spars, aircraft wing spars, or both?

any weathering application of a flexible fibrous material that will absorb
the oils - bamboo fly rods, too - this one was made in 1915
of course the name came from spars on sailing ships

I come from a bamboo fly rod background, and we used flexible coatings to
turn fibrous materials into tough composites - spar varnish, and maybe as
exotic as mastic varnish on silk thread wraps or to turn an old silk braid
into a floating fly line. When I made my first twine wrap on a bike, it
I feel a trip to the hardware store coming on... That makes cork grips far more
appealing to me.
I varnished some skateboard pedal decks, but the shellac whitened in the rain.
Can I spar varnish right over the shellac, or do I need to strip the shellac
off, first? This is to protect and shine
