Default What to put on Epoxy for UV protection?

And, another related question:
Is it a good idea to cover teak with epoxy first and then varnish?
Will this hold better / last longer than just varnish?

1) Apply several coats of epoxy, sanding between coats making sure you
TOTALLY seal the teak.

2) Apply several coats of your favorite "sheep dip" that has UV
inhibitors, again sanding between coats.

The "sheep dip protects the epoxy, the epoxy protects the teak.
