I didn't see any mentions of Cetol? Everyone I asked here in Maryland recommended the new Cetol Natural Teak. I have just started using it, but the color is almost identical to the Helmsman Spar Varnish I was using. It cost more but only require 3 coats and supposedly last at least twice as long. Anyone have any negative experiences with this before I go any further?
Thanks,
Ken
Used Cetol for almost 20 years. 3 coats of natural and 2-3 coats of clear. No sanding between coats. A couple of maintenance coats every 3 years. Holds up much better than varnish. Does it look as good as 8 coats of varnish? No, but it’s a great compromise with less than half the work. When it’s time to strip the varnish on our new to us GB 36 it will be replaced with Cetol. No doubt.
