Questions & Answers about Sikkens Cetol Marine Natural Teak:
2013-05-17A shopper asked: Can this be used on exterior fir and redwood for an arbor that would be exposed to sun and rain?
+Expand Answers
2013-05-17JAMES LEHR: I can't be certain, but I've used Sikkens for many years and my understanding is that it was developed specificallyu for teak and I'm not certain it will work for other woods. Even on teak, Sikkens is not a permanent'fix'. It needs to be renewed periodically. It's advantage is that it can be roughed up with something like a 3M pad and re-coated; unlike varnish which needs to be removed completelyh to be recoated.
2013-05-18PAULUS VAN BEEK: You can use it yes. But First layer after a clean sand papered surface you apply 75% Varnish 25% Paint thinner. Than after 24 hours (Best) a normal layer of varnish. But the sun and rain will still give damage. Keep the varnish op to date by maintain it. After a while you see the varnish is damage and the wood is exposed. You light sandpaper the damaged places and varnish it again (You nee slightly sandpaper the whole spot or area with 250 Sandpaper do not use the 80 or 120 sandpaper.

2013-04-11A shopper asked: Can I use the Sikkens Cetol Marine on western red cedar? I have a quart left over from when I refinished my mahogany deck and I am building a couple of adirondack chairs from western red cedar.
+Expand Answers
2013-04-11BRUCE HAULMAN: Yes you can. Red Cedar has lots of oils like teak and will darken with Cetol, but if you are prepared to retouch every 6 months or so, you chairs will look great.
2013-04-18WEST JOHNSON: I don't see why not. My experience us limited to teak where the product performs exceptionally well.
2013-04-22Jose Nabielsky: I used Sikkens Cetol Marine Natural Teak (2-quart pack) on my outdoor red cedar furniture. The result was spectacular:
1. stripped clear the furniture before application using power abrasion with nut shells.
2. applied a single coat of cetol to all surfaces, four chair and one 42-inch round table.
3. dried within 16 hours in 65-degree weather.
Two quarts were used, exactly, with nothing left. Used a high-quality Wooster china bristle brush for the application.
Use with confidence.
2013-04-05VINCE VITOLLO asked: Is suggested the Cetol Marine clear be used with this product?
+Expand Answers
2013-04-10PETER GARFIELD: Not totally clear what the question is. However, I put on 3 coats of Natural last spring - held up extremely well through the summer. I applied a single coat late last fall to ensure integrity through the winter. The boat was covered. As expected the finish is fine. I will topcoat 1-2 late this spring. I am trying to stay ahead of the natural deterioration so that I don't have to go to bare wood any time soon. Hope this helps.

2013-04-10MICHAEL SAVIOLI: vince v,
are you looking to seal the application?
if you are,then yes, i have used it,and the clear will
last a couple of years,before you have to redo it again. saves time, and really makes the teak on your boat look new!
2013-04-11MATTHEW D JENKINS: i used 4 coats of Natural Teak, topped with 3 coats of Clear. Great results, but allow to dry fully between coats.
2013-04-11DAVID MARIN: No I do not ue the clear Cetol at all. I use the original and the natural on my thirty six year old teak decks.
The natural is lighter and helps tone down the darker color of the original.

2013-04-15PAUL MOREHART: I did not and it turned out fine just using Natural Teak.
2013-03-16A shopper asked: I put this on white washed teak outdoor furniture drom Bali,thinking it was clear as I loved the whitewash finish. It turned the color yellow and shiny. Mis there any way to get it off?
+Expand Answers
2013-04-10MICHAEL SAVIOLI: you will have to sand it down until you have the bare teak,then white wash it again. the onlything i can recommend is to apply water based polyurethane,which you can purchase at any home store. it applies milky white,and dries clear,with no yellowing. two or three coats works well.
2013-01-17TOM BAGLEY asked: How many coats of of natural teak and how many coats of clear do I need to put on?
+Expand Answers
2013-01-17ALBERT PERREN: tom b - subjective question, I'll try for an objective response... I've had success and suggest minimum 3 coats Sikkens, no coats of clear. First coat 50-50 diluted, second coat 80-20 diluted, 3rd coat pure Sikkens. But, for best results, adding clear is always a good idea. For highest/deepest shine, 5-7 coats of clear.
Good luck!
2013-01-17JASON GONZALES: We applied one good coat of the teak and then three coats of clear coat.
2013-01-17STEVE MOHR: My experience is....as many as you want. The natural teak won't keep getting darker with each coat, and it dries to a gloss. So I've just stopped when I get to the depth of finish I want and don't even bother with a clear topcoat or two. It looks great and holds up well.
2013-01-17LUIS CANCEL: I put on 3 light coats for a nice smooth glossy finish. The first 2 coats are absorbed and some spots stay dull. That is why the 3rd would be needed.
2013-01-18MICHAEL DE COLLIBUS: I first applied three thin coats of SCMNT. I then have been applying one coat in the sping and one coat in the fall as maintenance-(Patio Set). I have heard people applying up to six coats for the first application , but three worked for me , but I'm sure the more coats the better. I have never applied any sort of clear coat , varnish, poly ,etc. As this product contains plenty of varnish in it , and it builds up protective layers the more you apply it. I have found it to be a great product and I recommend it. Hope this helps. Mike
2013-01-18KATHY HUGHES: We used this on teak lounge chairs and adirondack chairs. We did three coats after a good hand wash to wash off the dirt. The results have been AMAZING! The furniture looks unbelievable and I feel that it will be well protected in the elements. They all have a deep auburn Carmel color and I am VERY pleased. It is a lot of work and it was expensive with three coats each, but I feel this will last multiple seasons and protect our investment.
2013-01-18BOB PARRY: I use three coats of natural teak followed by two coats of gloss - easy to apply and looks great.
2013-01-18DENNIS NESS: Tom,
I have used this product with excellent results. It does not require any; clearcoat or varnish and will provide a nice semi-gloss to flat finish in a pleasing natural look.. It is low maintenance with an occasional touch-up it looks good for years. If you really want a super glossy finish you may want to look at other products or verify if the varnish is compatible over this product. I've used this on three different boats and my outdoor furniture and I have been very pleased with the results every time!
2013-01-18SHAWN CINA: I have a j22 and I used 4 coats every 2 years, no clear coat necessary. My teak looks great!
2013-01-18STEVE SMALL: I used 3 coats on old greyed out teak. I shines automatically....the more you coat, the richer and shinier it gets. Nice product!
2012-08-27A shopper asked: Is this product a clear coat or tinted? Would like to apply this product on previously stained door.
Thanks in advance
+Expand Answers
2012-08-28KATHY HUGHES: it is a clear. we applied to our adirondack chairs and it of course darkens them from the natural wood color. very nice honey color. it is glossy.
2012-08-29DONALD ROBERTSON: Cetol marine Natural Teak is slightly tinted. It's a soft amber color and not perfectly clear.
2012-08-30RAYMOND BAKER: It is definately tinted. Not as much as regular Sikkens Cetol Marine but it does have a light brownish/orange tint. We use it on our teak furniture here in Florida and it stands up very well.
2012-09-01JAMES LAMB: It has a yellow or slightly orange tint. I use it on unfinished teak or mahogany and it looks great. I can't say how it will look or a stained dorr because it will depend on the stain and the wood. Try an inconspicuous area and see what you think.
2012-09-03JERRY MURRAY: To look at the product in the can you would not think it's clear. But it is whatever is on the surface of what you are coating, will show through the Cetol Marine Natural Teak. coating.
I have used it on teak wood trim on my boat and am very satisfied with the results.
2012-09-04Mike Holland: This product does have a color. It is the brown (teak) color shown on the picture on the can.

2012-08-25LARRY DEER asked: cedar fence application ok?
+Expand Answers
2012-09-06LORY WATSON: Yes. I would imagine. I used it on a garage door with great results. I used to stain the door each year with a different product. There isn't even the slightest evidence that I'll need to do if this year.
2012-09-06STEVE POIRIER: I don't see why not- I have only used it on teak on my boat, I would not use anything else- it penetrates the wood allowing for any movement of the wood without cracking the finish
2012-09-06CHRIS DOMBALIS: Larry, I have only applied Sikkens on Oak and Teak. I don't have experience with cedar, but I find that multiple coats(i applied 5 coats) of Sikkens works best on Oak, after 220 finish sanding. I keep teak to 3 coats(max) It looks terrific.

2012-08-07CHRIS DOMBALIS: My best results came with low humidity and shade. Also, make sure any stain or cleaner or brightener has dried well before applying cetol.
2012-08-08DONALD WOGAMAN: We have not had that problem. Do you mean white spots?
We put on 5 coats of natural and then 2 coats of clear.

2012-08-23BRUCE VARTY: I use the product without any issue like the one you are having, my boat stays in a boat house so I am sure the deck is dry before application. Maybe there was some mositure deep in the deck, or condensation from temperature changes. Hard to tell without seeing it first hand, good luck.

2012-07-25ROB PENCE asked: Newish wood 2x6 rail cap on sea boat with much sun/water exposure is tight-grained but is not teak - seems "hard" but am not sure it is a hardwood. Is CETOL appropriate for this?
I want a durable surface (for much foot and lines wear). Do not want varnish which seems always to separate and peel.
+Expand Answers
2012-07-25ERIC BROWN: I've used it on douglas fir, pine and garapa (most similar to teak) and it works great. Very occasionally there are spots in garapa, perhaps where the wood is more oily, where the first coat of Cetol doesn't set up quite right and remains tacky. They're fine after the second coat.
2012-07-25ROBERT BERUBE: I used to supply hardware to a marina in Vermont and was told this was the most durable varnish. Have since applied it to a teak swim platform and several doors that get a lot of sun and weather exposure and wouldn't choose to use anything else. It's also very easy to work with. Best exterior varnish I've ever used. Bob in Utah
2012-07-26KATHY BANCUCH: Rob,
This product is a cetol with some uv inhibators. It will build up with multipul coats, which makes me believe that it will require a yearly top coat. It was recomended to me to finish some exterior teak cabinets. I have high hopes for it in this application. I would sugest that you try it in a inconspictous place and see what you think.
2012-08-03TODD ZIPLOW: I have found that the Cetal on any wood is a great product, but for long lasting results, I like a minimum of 2 coats and 1 productive clear coat on any satin.
2012-07-02FRED FALLER asked: Before applying Cetol Marine Natural Teal, do I have to clean the bare wood with Acetone or will Methyl Hydrate do the job - or is it necessary at all to clean the bare wood before application?
+Expand Answers
2012-07-02MARK SPELLER: I bought a weathered teak patio set that was totally silver when I started. Isanded back to the raw wood with 120 and then fine sand with 220, wiped down with TPS and applied the Sikkens. The set looks brand new now.
2012-07-04KENNETH BARTIZAL: I would just wipe it down with acetone just to pick up the dust particles. Remember wood is a natural product and there will always be imperfections in the wood apperence.
2012-07-06WILLIAM NEVILL: I was refinishing old and weathered brightwork, sanded to expose fresh wood. I made no effort to remove wood oils, feeling that they would be minimal. So far (knock on brightwork) finish is holding up well.
2012-07-06JOHN PEARSON: no, just sandi it so the new coat witll stick or you get enought decay, dirt up etc.
2012-07-07BOB PARRY: I wiped the sanded bare wood with Interlux 216 on a cloth before applying the Cetol Marine Natural Teak - 3 coats, 24 hours apart and then two coats of Cetol Gloss. I lightly wiped between coats with the 216 as well to pick up dust. I don't know if I needed the 216, but I got a great finish....
2012-07-07ARTHUR LAROCHE III: After stripping the teak on my boat I sand it to desired condition and then clean it with Interlux 216 and let it dry (dries quickly) before applying the Cetol Natural Teak. I have found that the Cetol marine gloss over top of the natural teak provides a nice layer of protection and looks great but it is added work and has to be maintained with a maintenance coat each year. I have used 3 coats of natural teak followed by 2 coats of gloss.
2012-07-07DONALD WOGAMAN: We always wiped the teak down with acetone before applying to make sure we got good adhesion. I think that is exactly what the can directions call for. We applied five coats and then three coats of gloss over top for our teak cock pit table which is under a bimini. We really like the results.

2012-07-08JED LAVOIE: I would clean it especially if it is teak. Teak is naturally oily wood and a good teak cleaner will clean out the oil before applying the Cetol. If it is not teak, a once over with some Acetone should do the trick.
2012-07-08JED LAVOIE: If it is teak, use a teak cleaner to remove the oil from the surface of the wood. Teak is very oily. If it is not teak, a once over with some acetone should do the trick. I would definitely clean it all before application.

As a teak oil on bare wood it may work just fine BUT I used DEKS OLJE #1 for years and now that it is discontinued I'm lost. The Cetol does not cover exisiting coats of DEKS OLJE. I only used it once per year on my deck and that new application of DEKS OLJE totally brought the old exiting layers back to life.. . night and day difference. It's like it disolved the old coats and replenished them with new oil. The CETOL just lays there and tries to soak in, doing nothing to enhance the color or finish. Where can I get some DEKS OLJE # 1 ?
I've refinished exterior doors on multi-million dollar homes and the color and sheen of finish add a nice durable look to entries. The product works beautifully, drying time is slow enough to create seamless work and there's no sanding between coats. Wouldn't use anything else!

Comments about Sikkens Cetol Marine Natural Teak:
I applied this last summer so I don't really know as yet how it holds up; previously I used Teak oil but that does not last and am tired of chasing after it up here in the NEast where we have the boat. So I need to wait for the summer of 2012 to find out how good it holds up, hatches, gunwale and other teak on the boat. For sure it's easy to apply, it has a reddish color and I was hoping it would be a bit lighter but looks ok. thus far.

I have been using Cetol for many years my father discovered that it worked better than regular varnish on his 1937 Chris Craft. A little known trick how ever is to mix the clear with the stain to give the clear extra UV protection. How ever you must sand in between coats. This natural is a great natural color Thank You sikkens now I don't have to tint this product myself.

Comments about Sikkens Cetol Marine Natural Teak:
I refinished the wood trim on my boat with this product and it was exactly what I wanted. I didn't want a glossy finish but just a light sheen. I sanded, bleached then applied the Cetol and the finish is fantastic. It brought out the grain of the wood and dried to a satin finish. The only drawback is that it is very oily and messy in application, however that will probably be a plus since that is the way it is designed.
