I have the Rust-oleum outdoor water based Diamond Wood Finish. Can this also be used for indoor projects?
You cannot use it indoors as it needs the UVs to cure or it will turn an ugly yellow

When I applied the product, it had bubbles in it which remained even after drying. Do you know why this happened?
The bubbles may have come from the product if it was shaken, or stirred too vigorously. If the product was not shaken or stirred too vigorously, bubbles may indicate a reaction to something on the surface. Lightly scuff the surface to smooth the bubbles, then gently wipe it with a clean cloth dampened with mineral spiriits or varsol. Allow the mineral spirits or varsol to flash-dry off for about 30 mins before applying a new coat of Varathane. Ensure your brushes are very clean. If problems persist, please contact Product Support (1-800-387-3625) for further assistance.

How long would this finish last if used to coat an outdoor sign made from routered cedar? The bare wood will be first treated with either a water based semitransparent stain or a 20 year solid wood stain.
If the surface is prepared well, the Varathane Outodoor Waterbased Finish can last a very long time. Like any coating, exposure to the elements will cause wear over time.
