Gerry...great side by side comparison!
RichH...Cracking and Crazing??? No way unless you're just slathering on coat after coat of the old Cetol. Oh and YES...I have scraped old cetol off down to the bare wood and it is at LEAST as easy to remove as
varnish. Point being...do that ONCE and never again if you use the 2Natural+2Gloss coat approach with touchups.
Horton's and Gtod's experience is exactly like mine. GTods 80/20 rule is exactly how I see it...80% of the beauty of
varnish with 20% of the ongoing effort.
