I've done both sickens and epiphanies on two different boats. Other than the
time between coats, I dont see the the benefit to sickens. It seemed softer
and less deep a finish than the varnish. As far as upkeep, a couple of coats a
year on either product seems a wash. I'd go with the varnish myself.
Although, I didn't do this on the new handrails on my last boat, I think I
might coat new wood with epoxy first then 7 or 8 coats of epiphanies. I did
that on the new hatch boards of my last boat and was pleasantly surprised with
the results! I made them out of some marine plywood I had left over from a
project on a previous boat and I got a lot of compliments on those hatch
boards! Lol

Stus-List Exterior Teak Varnish Recommendation?
Listers-
Grenadine's new exterior handrails are ready for finish and installation.
Wanted to see if any of you have a preferred varnish for exterior teak. I'm
looking for a clear varnish with UV protection.
Cheers,Randy
