Cetol is great once you learn how to use it.

Maybe that's the trouble. Of all the people I've ever seen use it, the
best looks like a layer of smeared-on orange jello. The new stuff "Cetol
Lite" looks a little better.

Judging by how quickly it turns to crap, and how much touch up work it
seems to need to avert this, IMHO it doesn't last one minute longer than
varnish, either. Makes more sense to put on a coat of paint.


.... It's way more forgiving on
older teak than varnish. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to put on
16 coats of varnish only to have the plugs and seams blow damn near every
spring. F**k varnish:^)

Never had this problem. Sounds like the wood is getting too much
moisture into it. What are you using for a base coat? What's it bedded
on? 16 coats of varnish ought to hold up much better than that. Right
now we're on coat #11 (my wife is doing 99% of it).

I had a conversation with a guy on our dock who is PO'd about his Cetol
that he switched to last year. He got fed up with varnish (apparently he
got the impression that 3 or 4 coats was enough to last a year) and
sanded his gunwhale, eyebrow, handrails (now *there's* a PITA) etc etc
down to bare wood so as to put on Cetol Lite. Looked like orange jello,
but at least you could almost see the wood grain. Now it's mostly flaked
off and the wood's got black spots again.


What's up with mast supports? Are you switching to deck stepped masts?


The main mast step is on the sole so there needs to be something between
that and the keel besides 18" of air. There were a couple of loose chunks
of oak, but we'd like something more likely to stay in place when the you
know hits the fan.

I'd consider molding in some fiberglass supports. From what you've
already done with the hanging knees, it shouldn't be too hard. Metal
corrodes and wood rots. Besides you can mold in a little gutter & basin
to catch the sap running out of the mast


Hahahaha, Prince Charlie was pretty out too, ya shoulda seen it!

Why am I not surprised...

Doug, I've been using Cetol for 9 years with no problems and it certainly
doesn't look orange. Alien's floors were done with cetol.

People always assume it's varnish. Proper use of Cetol provides varnish like
results with FAR less work. Varnish takes more effort, but I've seen it last a
long long time.

Proper use of Cetol
1) Sand with 80, then 160 if you like
2) Wash with water bleach mixture
3) Wipe down with acetone. Teak should appear light colored with no grey!
4) Apply light single coat of cetol, then 2nd 24 hours later. Use sponge brush
ONLY.
5) Apply Cetol gloss coat, then second coat.

Maintain with cetol gloss ONLY.

Read somewhere recently that kids got charged with cruelty to animals
for seeing if it was true that chickens could run with their head
chopped off.

How times have changed. When I was a kid, that's where chicken dinner
came from, and that's what happened to roosters that got a bit too
cocky. They really could run around with their heads chopped off.
