Sikkens Cetol Marine Experiment | Teak Sailboat Restoration | Trawler Boat Building (Ep81)

What is the difference between the four variations of Sikkens Cetol Marine wood finish? How does Sikkens Cetol Marine Gloss compare to Helmsman Spar Urethane? This episode I conduct the ultimate sailboat wood finish experiment! Welcome to my boat building channel! MotorCity Boat Werks is about REAL amateur boat restoration and boat building. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs.

Another great video with accurate information!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks for the comment Joe 👍😁

[@eggs712]

I will be patiently awaiting the longevity test results, great video.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Me too 😂thanks for the comment

Under indoor lighting the samples have a bark brown tone whereas outdoors they have a lighter golden tone which the ladder is my preference. Either way indoors or outdoors, to my untrained eyes all appear to be the same. Where we may start to see a difference is in the weathering. A time lapsed month to month comparison would be interesting to watch in a future episode. With all that said watching this episode has inspired me to use Cetol natural teak and Cetol gloss finish to refinish all the exterior teak on my 44’ trawler. This will be a huge job that will take me all summer.

Thanks for the comment Terry. 😁Good luck on your ambitious project, just eat the elephant one piece at a time

I like the natural teak with the gloss finish...I think the grain is a little darker with the natural teak...but I agree with you, it is subtle between the typer...it does have a little orange tint to it but I have been using it on all my teak for almost 20 years

[@motorcityboatwerks]

I have to agree 👍 Thanks for the comment

[@flowerjunkie7219]

Thank you for doing this... very interesting info, I work on teak professionally and you wouldn't believe the battle I go through with some customers. I am using an amber finish now from Total boat.... honestly, it looks very similar to your high gloss over natural teak.

Thanks for your comment 😁👍

Hah! I'm first. Good information

About Time Wolfram! Well done 👍😁

Quality episode 👌

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks Lou😁 I appreciate the comment and feedback

Funny, the Sikkens factory is located in my hometown and no more than a 10 min bicycle ride away. It's quite an old company from the late 18th century at that time located in Groningen the north of the Netherlands and since 1939 located in my place. Nowadays it's owned by the much bigger brand Akzo Nobel, also Dutch. Since their products are developed in our often wet country I guess it protects well. I find the results as expected due to the transparent properties of these coatings, they are meant to preserve the wood signature.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

I agree 😁 I’m a big fan of this product line and have been a loyal customer for 30 years. Brilliant 👍

[@wolframschweier3307]

Did you use a clean brush for each finish?

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Indeed I did. Fresh foam brush each type of coating and each time. 😁👍 We don’t mess about in the Boat Werks 🤓

[@marcmenton8063]

Not enough difference to worry about. I’ll worry about getting a boat before I die

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks for the comment

[@markgallagher1376]

I don’t see much of a difference either. I think the reason they make different ones is for marketing.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

🧐I wonder too Mark. Thanks for the comment

[@rtz549]

How can finish be so expensive per can? The ingredients can't be that expensive. Not like it's rare and exotic stuff from a rain forest.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Supply and demand. 😁

[@rtz549]

Really surprised China doesn't do knock offs and sell these cans cheap on Amazon.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

I imagine it’s a secret recipe 🥸thanks for the comment

[@rtz549]

@@motorcityboatwerks I've read before there are no secrets in the chemical industry. The lab can see exactly what's in it and the proportions.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Not true. How do you explained Colonel Sanders secret recipe 😂🤣
