Sikkens Cetol marine goes on easily and lasts very well. It's the only thing I'll use. $30/quart and worth it.

I can't speak to Le Tonkinois, but I share your frustration/disappointment with teak oil. I used a
UV-resistant Interlux varnish in 2001 and I'm ready for a touch-up, but I only applied two coats. I don't
want to pull out the sandpaper and brushes again, but given that I didn't apply the number of coats I should
have in the first place, the Interlux has probably performed exceptionally well.

I finally tired of oiling my external teak. It had to be done frequently and I really didn't think it was
protecting the wood.
I cleaned all the oil and crud off the teak and decided to varnish it. I decided to use Le Tonkinois varnish
because of the claimed ease of use. It was easy to apply and looks good. It does not change the color of the
wood. I guess now the test is its durability.
Does anyone else have experience with Le Tonkinois?
