 Dave, it sounds like you've also noticed that, with winter having set in, the conversation around here has gone down a few rungs. I really hope we can step it up soon!

Jimgo: I couldn't resist:
The conversation has gone down a few "steps" hahaha

Any rate: I am watching this thread, as I will be redoing some brightwork this spring.

And yes, things do get a little "fidgety" along about February up here...

...especially when the temp is in the 50s--we get all confused and anxious!

I took my eyes away from you guys from just a few days and look what happens. I wonder what Ben things about how things have gotten out of hand? He started all this with simply sharing his experience with cetol and somehow it took a different slant.

I can't resist joining in though! As far as how hubby relates to the sailboat relationship. Obviously he's the Wind! ;) Careful now...

It was hard to plunk down $40 bucks when I wasn't sure if I wanted "Natural", "Marine Light", or to just stay with oil, but I grit my teeth and bought the Light. Hand sanding in place and two coats, so far, on the coaming box trim and I really like the color and modest blending of different wood tones. I'll add one more coat tomorrow unless it is a nice sailing day, and the rest will wait until I go home and have access to power tools in March. I won't be doing a gloss topcoat because it isn't my aesthetic, but I might try the satin finish someday.

Dave,
Did you buy the Cetol online, or at a local store?

I bought a can at West Marine....only place around I could find that carried it. I paid $41 for it...kinda steep, but I searched a bit online and it's $35....and considering shipping I figured I wasn't saving all that much versus getting it now.

Local WM for $41, but I bought a few other things and had a $15 coupon if I spent $100, making it effectively about 15% off.

I had a small setback on my top rails. I got in a hurry and screwed it up! I've finally gotten all of that mess sanded off and put another coat on it tonight. Ugh. Hopefully this is it, I want my kitchen back!

Went to WM and picked up some Marine Light today. $35.61/qt OTD. Will post some before afters on the coaming trim rings. that is all I have at home right now. Some drawers to make, companionway boards and exterior trim will be a spring project.

It appears all are the new formula now? "NextWave technology"

After reading, I am purchasing the Cetol Marine. Today used Teka 2 part cleaner on the 27 year old, never cleaned, teak. Looks great!
Here's my question: While waiting on the Cetol to arrive, should I use oil on the teak? Or just apply the Cetol to the dried out wood?
Some people here have specifically stated they did use the oil. But others imply (in my mind anyway) they did not (but didn't really come out and say it).

Also in between days of doing this, we are in the middle of blister repair--applying epoxy, sanding, fairing compound, sanding, Pettit barrier coat x 3, then SR 21 x 2-3.

And, redoing the interior cushions (just bought a Sailrite machine!!)
And, making covers for the exterior teak.
Thank you in advance! You guys are awesome.

Oh, I forgot.
How many quarts should I order?
Doing all the exterior teak. Everything is removed from the boat.
I guess will do 3 coats or so, whatever is suggested.

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">1 quart will be very adequate (for exterior pieces.) I applied 2 coats in year 1 and 1 coat every spring thereafter. I use the green tape by 3M - not the Frog brand. You are not supposed to apply it in direct sunlight.

Good luck!

As OJ said, 1 quart should be plenty for the exterior teak. I managed to get most of my exterior teak off (not the companionway trim or the grab rails), and all of the drawers and cabinets in the salon. I did 4 or 5 coats of Cetol on the hatch boards, pop-top slider track, and the ornamental trim that's next to the companionway, plus 3 coats on the pieces from the interior, and I still had about half a can.

I agree, 1 can is enough for a lot of coating. I barely made a dent in the can and I've put 7 coats on lots of pieces.

Tip:

Rcmd separating out the contents of the can into small bottles. That way, unused portions will have limited exposure to air and remain fresh for the following year or so.
