[Public-List] Cetol? - as a stain

[John Birch]

FYI - We used Cetol below decks on the sole and bulkheads. We treated it 
like a stain, paint on wipe off. This has left a wonderful low maintenance 
finish which is not slippery when wet. Even the bulkheads are not slippery 
on those racing days when a reef just won't do ; )

We did this 10 years ago (Cetol M was the only product available at the 
time) and it is holding up great - no loss of grain because the coating is 
so thin, no orange. Have only once wiped the sole down with a rag in cetol 
to apply a refresher 5 years ago. The bulkheads have required 0 maintenance 
and look like they did the day after we finished.

On interior wood, or teak decks, treat it like a stain - it won't be 
slippery.
