Default Re: TEAK QUESTIONS/INPUT

well I had my hands on the Cetol and next to it [among a few other brands] was the Armada. Was told by two reps. at two different stores that Cetol and Armada were at one time or another the same company. Both guys said the same thing....Cetol is an excellent product, but it is a two stage process....three coats of "pigment" and then three coats of "sealant", each can about 27.00. The Armada is, in essence, the same thing in one can, around 28.00. Both need about 24hrs. between coats. So I thought 1/2 the time,1/2 the labor and1/2 the cost I was sold on the Armada. Hoping I made the right move I started working on it as soon as I got home. Wiped all teak down w/ acetone, last sanding w/400 grit and started laying it on. So far it looks great, a shade darker than anticipated but as it dries ,it's getting a little lighter. The other advantage to the Armada is that you can keep laying it on 3,4,5 years later without having to sand it down again.I hope I get alot of "truth in advertising"
