Golly, I've said this befor:
Cetol looks like Cetol. It was probably named after viseral whale relief. I personally think the smokey caramel look is exceeding unattractive. And is as recognizable as a product on your boat as Mickey Mouse is Disney.
On the other hand Bristol Finish is bright and up scale as twenty coats on a Herreschoff classic. I saw a folkbote get dolled up this summer and there is no way you can tell that this finish is not varnish. NO WAY, trust me!
Whether it has the same who gives a damn seasonal recoating schedule I don't know. Look in to it, ok? Three four coats no sanding a day(?) The difference is like technicolor vs black and white. (was gonna say Sepia, but none of you children even know who Randolph Scott was!)
An Ariel or Commander deserves better than Cetol!
(this is NOT to say that Cetol is inferior. It's great, I've used it, but it really looks horrible compared to varnish or Bristol Finish on mahogany.
YAS, That's what we need. More unsubstantiated O pinions!!)
