Rich,
It sounds as if you are getting along in your improvements list for "Lola".  While I have not personally used any of the 2 part varnishes that are out there I hear from others on another boating forum (   ) that Bristol Finish and Honey Teak are supposedly the most maintenance free if applied thick enough.  The Dec 07 Practical Sailor reviewed 2 part finishes and they too recommend Bristol Finish (Traditional Amber), as well as Interlux Perfection and Smith & Co Five-Year Clear although they did not include Honey Teak in their comparison (which is allegedly more expensive than Bristol Finish).
I have been using Interlux Schooner varnish for my exterior teak and although it looks nice initially, it requires a lot of work.  I am tempted to try Cetol or Bristol Finish instead.
I hope you get "Lola" in the water this year.
Caleb

I actually have some that the PO had bought but never installed. I'll dry fit it and if it works find out what it is...btw I have all the rub rails sanded and somewhat repaired. I made my own filler/adhesive out of epoxy and the dust that came out of the orbital sander.... My plan is still to use penetrating epoxy and then varnish, I'd like to use two part varnish but need to check compatability and prices. Has anyone tried anything similer?  Rich

I’ve been very happy with Cetol Natural and Cetol Gloss.? I get lots of compliments on what I have restored so far.? It seems to require maintenance a couple times a year.?

?

The nice thing about Cetol is that it will bond to itself without much hassle.? Removing it is as easy as a heat gun or scraper.

?

Of course, I’m not going for museum grade, I want it nice from 5 feet and if you get closer you have to work on it.? LOL.? I’ll try to post some pics when I’m done repainting.?

I have to also recommend Cetol.  I used the light tint
with the gloss and it looks great is maintenance free
and resistant to weather and abrasion.
