Sikkens Cetol Marine Wood Finish

i have used this product for 7 yrs. i finally had to reorder another quart,because this product lasts longer than any other! goes on easily, dries faster, and its luster is teriffic! i would reccomend this to anyone with any type of wood,which is exposed to the elements year round.

Goes on easily and lasts four to five years before needing renewal coats on my mahogany and other outdoor wood furniture. Sikkens Cetol Marine has kept my furniture looking new for almost 20 years! Also makes removal of accumulateddirt and pollen very easy with Endust or Pledge.

Almost 20 years ago we bought a mahogany picnic table and benches, chaise, adirondack chair, etc. This product, recommended by a boating friend, has enhanced the color subtly and protected the furniture for all these years, needing a light sanding and reapplication about every 5 to eight years. It goes on easily, dries fast, and leaves a beautiful, easy to clean satin finish. I have only used one or two coats, not the recommended three (I'm a little lazy), or the finish would probably have lasted much longer. It is expensive but worth every penny! Works just as well with our furniture made of other exotic hardwoods.

I have used Marine Cetol on my trawler in Florida for years but have recently moved to the North Country in NY State. My recent project includes a hot-tub room in a 3 season enclosed porch with walls and ceiling in tongue and groove white cedar. Marine Cetol has given the room an aged and lodge-like look that we were wanting. It will also add protection from the high humidity from hot-tub use.

Product goes on very smoothly and covers well. I used this product on a teak table and chairs and applied the recommended 3 coats. The finished product looks beautiful! I had used another product previously and the end result was not nearly as good looking.

I have a lot of wood on my boat. When I bought the boat the wood was in ok shape, but deteriorated quickly with what ever product was used before. 4 years ago I removed all the old coatings and sanded to bare wood, applied 3 coats of Cetol. Every year I lightly sand, and apply another coat. After 4 years, the wood is still in excellent condition, not a single bit of discoloration not any blistering. Great stuff, I would highly recommend it.

This product really holds up. We have one of those long porches on our Craftsman style home. The floor on the porch was always hit hard by the winters in PA. We previously used other outdoor varnished and were't satified because we had to recoat every year. So far, this has lasted 2 years and still looks great. When people come to visit, our porch with the great looking wood floor is always the first thing they comment on. Now, I'm refinishing the railing inside our home, all the paint/varnish built up over the 100 years is gone and I'm ready to use this product again

Provides a much better finish that lasts longer than the usual varnish or urethane products.

Applied (2) coats of Sikkens Cetol Marine Satin; sprayed and immediately brushed first coat. Applied second coat spraying, but no brushing about 8 hrs after first coat was dry to touch. Incredible richness, brought out warm, rich, natural wood grain and warm cedar tones. Fence was one year old and had been prestained (with a natural, translucent stain). Was beginning to show weathering. Original wood was premium select cedar 6' high, solid. Finish was awesome! I believe I will get five years or more before having to redo. My paint contractor was in impressed. He was initially skeptical, but loved the finished job. Loved the product.
