I'd suggest you rub the whole thing down with fine wet and dry so that it is uniformly mat finish.  It will look just as good and be lighter.

But if not surely it has to be epoxy.

Won't you just be adding weight just where you don't want it ?

i think most people just use ordinary yacht varnish after lightly sanding the mast. However i may be wrong. you can buy this from a chandlery or even a DIY store may have some.
