Just curious, why would you want to do 5 coats of Cetol followed by 3 coats of Cetol Gloss?
The instructions on the can recommend 3 coats followed by 1 gloss, or 2 gloss if 1 gloss isn't satisfactory. But 8 coats is something I've only ever heard of for varnish, and the lower # of coats required with Cetol is one of its primary advantages. 4 coats on handrails last year took me quite a while, so I can't imagine wanting to do 8! -Patrick On Wed, Mar 1, 2017 at 1:54 PM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: > From: RANDY <randy.staff...@comcast.net> > To: cnc-list <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > Cc: > Bcc: > Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2017 18:53:08 +0000 (UTC) > Subject: Re: Stus-List Exterior Teak Varnish Recommendation? > Thank you all for the responses and recommendations. > > For better or worse I've decided to go with Sikkens Cetol Natural Teak > followed by Sikkens Cetol Gloss; probably five coats of the former and > three coats of the latter initially.
