One thing it doesn't say on the tin

Advantages: Final finish of the floor great and no problem with the varnish it's self
Disadvantages: supplied applicator is a piece of junk

Garden Bliss

Advantages: Durable, allows natural grain to show through
Disadvantages: May need to be reapplied every 7 years or so.

...Dutch sailing friends I found Sikkens Marine Cetol. In harsher weather conditions than ours they had used this product and it had proved remarkably resilient, so some 8 years ago I invested in my first tin, which was less than eight pounds in those days. The Product Itself Sold in an unremarkable 750 ml grey/blue tin, today this is a product from the Azkzo-Nobel group of Companies, typically distributed here in the UK by International Paints ...
...is sold in all our local chandleries, or online. This might sound expensive but high quality teak oil is often over £10 a go these days, and this can deteriorate whilst in the bottle. Sealers don't feed the wood like teak oil but, as the name suggests, they seal out moisture and dirt, and seal in natural oils and resins. There is to be fair no evidence that I have found that suggests that teak needs oiling to preserve it longer, it’s really the aesthetic ...

shine like a star

Advantages: great protection
Disadvantages: a bit runny

i have used the clear of this after paint and graining my doors and furniture to protect the paint, stop it chipping, make it shine and cleanable. I have used the beach of this to do my hall after stripping it back to natural wood.

Easier to admire than it was to Apply

Advantages: Keeps a strong colour
Disadvantages: Didn't take very well initially and had to use several coats

With most of the solution I chose to brush it onto the woodwork, as I was mainly putting it onto a bench and some trellis. It was temperamental in the sense that in some wood it absorbed quite a lot where as other areas it temporarily sat on the wood before it settled. It was difficult to mix the surface oil back into the solution, once it had gathered on top during storage too. It took quite a while. Some of it was a little lumpy in places without ...
...I thought before I opened it I was expecting to only need to apply one coat, but some areas I needed 2 or 3 in the end, so it took me longer than I had hoped. The colour however was rich and even and now it has been on a while it doesnt look any different, especailly on my shed, to the day I first did it. However my advice would be to take extra care in preparing the wood surface before you apply it. With some of the similar products I have used ...
