Refinishing original teak

[MarkG]

jon - i have used sikkens cetol on my boats with aged teak and it remains intact forever.

at a boat yard where a guy was doing some routine maintenance on a 58 bertram (immaculate) I noticed he was not using it - he was using regular marine varnish.

I was re-doing one of my boats at the time and we got to know each other really well - he was a hired caretaker for the boat and told me (after a few beers) he would not use sikkens cetol because it would put him out of work!

You only need 4 coats of the stuff and a clear sealer can be put over it for cosmetics but the stuff is great. When I get my Seacraft - and I will out some teak into the finish work - I will use it again
