Fiberstone resurfacing

I’ve got a garden table made out of fiberstone or fibrestone - a sort of composite with fine silica particles embedded in it. It used to be smooth but over years of cleaning and abrasion, the top surface is now rough. What’s the best way of sealing the surface? Glasscoat 3 or XCR coating resin? It stays outdoors and needs to be stable. Ideally clear, and matt finish.

A resin coating would be the best solution.  Something like our XCR Epoxy Coating Resin would be ideal as it does brush on easy and is hard wearing and as UV stable as epoxies will get.   Getting a matt finish will involve sanding it flat after use and either leaving it as is, or spraying with a matt/satin lacquer.
