I had a pretty good test of that in the past year. Last offseason I replaced Grenadine’s exterior cabintop teak handrails with new ones fabricated by my buddy Jerrod Milton. I finished the new ones (and the teak piece under the traveler) with five coats of Cetol Marine Natural Teak followed by three coats Cetol Marine Clear.
Then Jerrod made a set of custom teak drink holders for the boat, installed at both ends of the cockpit and inboard of the dorade boxes. He insisted on finishing those with teak oil. After basically one year in the elements, the handrails and traveler piece look brand new, just like they did when I got done refinishing them. But the drink holders are weathered as hell. I’m refinishing them now with Cetol.
