My Semco rails, Natural color past 2 years but may go to Gold next year. Takes about 1 hour to reapply for 38' trawler.
Looks wonderful. We've got tons of railings and other hardware like yours (55 ft trawler). What technique do you use to NOT make a mess and get dribbles. I've got some smears and dribbles on our aft deck which I'm not proud of. Maybe I need to apply with a less heavy hand so it doesn't run....

I had a conversation with the owner of Semco when I was deciding to go with Semco or not. I use a foam brush to "lay on" the top and then a rag (gets pretty soaked) to spread to sides and underneath (nitrile gloves of course) Acetone seems to make quick work of the very odd "dribble". I'm pretty apt at moving the Semco around with the foam brush and just getting close to a stainless fitting and having the teak "soak" it right up to it!
