There is no need for sanding or scrubbling between coats as long as the next coat is applied within 24 hours. The Natural without the Gloss over it does not last long. But with the gloss we only need to apply a maintenance coat once a year and that is here in south Florida. Our standard practice is three coats of natural and three coats of gloss. Lots of photos on our Beach House site. We have been using Cetol for years now after trying about every other finish. We will never use anything else and Beach House has lots of teak. Chuck
