Hm. I was intrigued by the Bristol stuff, until words like "snot" and "little boogers" appeared in the review. I think I'll stick to teak oil!
Thanks for the photos, Caleb; did the Bristol impart any color to the teak, or just shine up what was already there?
re: the Cetol-d wood on your boat. Was that a recent application? Got any pics of that? I'm curious to see what Cetol treated wood looks like.
I only fiddled around with the tiller this weekend so I have no rambling stories to tell. Stained it with some MinWax Ipswich Pine stain (Home Depot claims this is no longer available, so hey! I have a bunch of 'rare' Ipswich Pine stain. Whoo!), then applied some spar varnish via a spray can. Yeah, a spray can. I wanted to see how it would come out.
With no more available boat projects (not entirely true, but I have to save something for next week) at home, I attacked my dining room and kitchen walls, stripping wallpaper, washing, spackling, sanding, pulling off baseboards, and painting both some test colors and a "for real" color. I dunno why I waited 9 years to do this, this is easier than boat wood stuff.
