Tom, We should give the Cetol a good workout. I use the boat almost daily when I'm not at work so the teak is pretty well uncovered all the time. I do cover the tiller and rudder which are varnished with Interlux 2 part Perfection over top of West System clear coat epoxy (an experiment I decided to try). I'll let you know how it stands up. It's been about 2 months and so far so good. Sean M23 Dauntless ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
