And I gave up on wooden handrails and now use stainless (although they are
rather smooth).

To be honest, I’d rather NOT have my handrails super-smooth; a little bit of
grip is not a bad thing. And I’m a bit reluctant to spend a huge amount of
time sanding in any case… :^)
FWIW, I gave up on Cetol and I’m now using Awlwood products.

I followed the instructions and did not sand between coats. Five coats Cetol
Marine Natural Teak followed by three coats Cetol Marine Gloss, with no sanding
in between (but sanded smooth beforehand), on Grenadine’s exterior handrails,
traveler bar, and taffrails one year ago. The finish is not perfect by my
grandfather’s standards (who built my mom a beautiful cherrywood rocking chair
with 12 coats of varnish and super fine sanding in between). When you run your
hand along the finish you might feel very slight unevenness. But you can’t see
it unless you’re down there looking with a magnifying glass. That was good
enough for me.

Sanded wood smooth. Added 3 coats of Cetol Teak. Surfaced roughed up a
bit as no sanding between coats. I want to add 3 coats of Cetol clear and was
told by their tech that is self leveling and surface will become smooth.
I am so tired of sanding, but I would rather know now if I should sand the
surface smooth now (and presumably remove some coating) or move ahead into
Clear without sanding.
Practical experience please chime in. Thanks in advance.
