RE: Teak Railings

I think all the products are good. It's the applicators that are frequently bad. That is .....bad preparations, no preparations or applications beyond the range of suitability for the product. Painting and clear coating is not rocket science nor is it witchcraft. Actually house paint is frequently more durable than marine finishes ....but it dos'nt have the wet look of a high gloss marine coating. Cetol is beyond a doubt very popular but I'm not convinced it's better than most other products formulated for the same purpose. In the 60s Chevrolet said in ads "x million people can't be wrong" but the people that bought Fords and Plymouth's were probably equally happy.
