[Public-List] interior teak

[Rachel]

I think of Cetol as a compromise finish for exterior wood.  That is, 
it's not quite varnish, but it's also not as hard to keep up (most 
people find) in the UV of the outdoors.

But belowdecks seems like the ultimate place for a "free ride" from 
beautiful, traditional varnish.  That is, you do it once and it will 
last virtually forever, and be beautiful besides.   With no UV to 
deteriorate the varnish, I see no reason to compromise with Cetol.

Also, with varnish you have a number of choices for gloss level, so you 
can choose what you like.

(Of course oiling is a possibility too; I was just addressing varnish 
in light of the proposed Cetol.)

IMO,
