As a sailboat owner for many years I have used Cetol on my teak with great results. This time my son and I used it on a beautiful set of outdoor patio furniture. My son's project looks wonderful. Jamestown Distributors is a great source for boat supplies and equipment .

Great on teak
5 years ago
I have a sailboat with a lot of teak. The perennial teak question is, do you protect it, and if so, how? Varnish is a bad idea because it defeats the low maintenance advantage of teak. Cetol Light solves the problem by providing some protection for the wood without the steady upkeep required of varnish. I applied 3 coats 3 years ago, and it still looks good. It's beginning to wear off in some places (it does not chip, crack, or peel) so I may recoat this year. It makes old teak look great.

I use this product on the exterior brightwork of a wooden schooner. The boat is moored in Puget Sound. Degredation from harsh sunlight is not an issue here, but wet weather sure is. Cetol has worked well for us for years.

Old Teak brought back to life.

This 34' Beneteau sailboat had sat for years without attention, so serious sanding was required the first time. Afterwards three coats were applied with light sanding between coats, with amazing results. About every 4 to 6 months (in a Florida environment), I sand lightly with a scotch brite pad and add 1 or 2 coats of Cetol and I am done for another 6 months. I'll be a lazy Captain if I can! I suggest buying one shade lighter then you want to achieve in the end.

Cetol Marine Light
17 years ago
I used Cetol Marine light on the hand railing and cap rail of my trawler. The product works very well, but the wood finish should already be the same shade before you start painting. If there are different shades, as in weathered wood, I'd suggest using Cetol Marine, at least three coats. There's more pigment in the Marine as opposed to the Marine Light. After three (or more) coats, I put an additional three coats of Cetol Gloss, and the wood looks great. Good products.

Q: Can Sikkens Cetol Light or Clear Gloss be buffed or polished after final application has dried to eliminate small imperfections from dust/dirt accidentally introduced during application to achieve an absolutely smooth and glossy finish? If so, can you recommend a procedure and a polish?
4 months ago1 Answer
A: I am not sure about the buffing as I have never done it when I used I sanded with 320 between coats and used a tack cloth after vacuuming to remove dust from the sanding. I don't believe buffing will work as the dust and imperfections are embedded in coating. Hope this helps Jed

Q: Comparing this product with Semco - Is this product ""thicker"" - more like a solid stain? I've used both products before and can't remember which is which. One just sort of fades away, and the other is thicker and would probably have to be sanded off. I think Cetol is the more solid stain - Can you confirm this for me please? Thank you!
6 years ago3 Answers
A: Semco is thin, like an oil, and needs to be reapplied a couple of times a year. This product has a viscosity closer to paint with a little more flow to it, that builds up with each coat. I wouldn't consider it a stain, because it does not change the wood's tone, it just has an opacity with color to it.

Q: Can this product be overcoated with a satin varnish? I'm using it to color match a new bank of teak faced drawers in a 1985 42' Grand Banks Motoryacht master stateroom. It's definitely the best color match, but I need to match the interior satin finish on the surrounding cabinets.

A: Yes, sand first with 220 grit or a scotchbrite pad.

Q: How can you remove spills on fiberglass?
9 years ago4 Answers
A: If it is dried, use a 1 inch metal putty knife with a layer or two of a xylene soaked rag over the tip of it. The rag will keep the metal from scratching the gelcoat, but, the edge will still be sharp enough to remove the Cetol. It may take a few strokes.

Q: It was recommended to me to use a wood sealer before I apply this. What is your opinion?

A: We did not. Sanded the wood well and tacked it with denatured alcohol. Finish is holcing up well. Hope that helps

Q: Is the Cetol light flat finish a good choice for cockpit floor?
11 years ago4 Answers
A: I've only used it on exterior wood deck rails on a home. Flat in general could work for flooring or a deck, but I don't think this product is intended for foot traffic. You might try using the manufacturer's web site to get the technical information about the product.
