Cetol Natural Teak

My coamings on the Triton look like crud. So I brought them home for some work and decided to try Cetol's Natural Teak, after three coats
(I plan to do one more and then a few coats of clear) it looks pretty good, actually kind of like real varnish, but without showing the darkended damaged areas as much. It seems there is no pumpkin hued glow to enjoy. I'm thinking about using it on the cabin sides of the Challenger (whenever I get to that).

I agree, the natural teak is the second best looking treatment out there that is considerably easier and more durable than the best. I did the coamings on the Luders with it this summer and I am very happy with it. Particularly because there is "no Pumpkin hued glow."

Any idea how natural teak might render on mahogany?

I think my triton coamings(in the picture) are mahogany

Thanks, Jimmy. I thought they might have been.

Having sanded the Cetol off the Seafarer's brightwork last year, I've been of the opinion that if I wanted it orange, I'd simply paint it that color.

Yours looks great, and the Natural Teak might change my approach this spring.

Please keep us posted. As always: more pictures; more better.

no photos yet...but I used sikkens DEK finish in natural.. its cetol by another name with a satin finish. It comes in natural, teak and mahogany. and is a LOT cheaper than cetol itself.. last yr I paid $82 for a gallon of the stuff. Was turned on to it by a cheoy lee owner..

the natural is a clear finsih you can use on pretty much anything and is designed to be in the sun on a deck finish.. am rather impressed. I like the satin finish better than the gloss. It's more subtle.
