I agree with Bill about Catalinas, though I feel obligated to
point out that my 1979 27 had more outside teak than my 30-2.
I briefly considered stainless handrails when my varnish jobs started barely
lasting a season, However, I found some Sunbrella handrail covers that are
making a huge difference. 2 seasons and counting on my Deks Olje varnish job.
I am intrigued by Awlwood, though the price has scared me off, about twice what
I am paying for Deks Olje.

I don’t want to start a teak war, but I have to agree with Rick –
I’ve had to strip my handrails a few times, as it gets away from me, and now I
do again.
But I just couldn’t see putting SS rails on the boat. I could
have whipped up some SS handrails overnight, but it just didn’t seem right. . .
. I would have had to go home and take a shower. When these C&C’s, well,
the earlier ones, were made, I think they were trying to make Plastic boats
still
look like wooden boats, and the brightwork is all about that.
In defense of Catalina’s , not that I give a rat’s ass about
Catalina’s, but they are nice boats . . .they never tried to make them
look like classic boats. Ours are.

Yes, but stainless leaves your boat looking like a Clorox
bottle…. Or, worse yet, a Catalina!!

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.

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.
