we don't need rest!!
We use the Cetol on the new boats in the yard for sale. Looks pretty good and is great for those that JUST have to have brown wood. A couple, three coats is all it seems to take and it lasts almost two years in mid-America. My gripe with it (over a good varnish) is that after a couple more coats, (for the succesive years) it starts to look like shoe polish and takes away the grain of the wood. Albeit, it is MUCH easier to do, and much less time consuming than a good dozen coats of spar varnish. CWF is seen on the docks from the wacky sailors that just won't side with the common folk and HAVE to use something different and CHEAPER in cost (sailors are so damn cheap!!)
