- Who doesn't love a good bit of varnishing? :) In this video, I try some new products for spiffy-fying wood. Spoiler alert: I still haven't found better products or processes than the one I used back in Denmark.
For easy varnishing of interior trim, I highly recommend you try Clear wood sealer (the two-part product!) and then finish it with a few coats of GoldSpar.

Mads has gotten SOO good at talking to the camera. I know yall been doing it for a while but WOW.
Yeah, he even sounds like a Michigander. "These one's" and "hot water heater" lol.
I totally agree and I really like that about Mads and Ava... it makes me feel like I'm right there with them. I've seen some other channels where they speak to a camera off to the side as if it's a documentary and it drives me crazy
I had the same thought.
Had no clue,Mads was gangster?But still fears Ava.
Lol, snitches and stitches, wife unit....keeps me listening intently for more! Always awesome Mads!
I enjoy Mads spending the time to ensure our feelings aren't hurt if we don't like the same varnish. As you say, to each their own so long as it works.
I'm sure the poor little neglected corner of the nav station is overjoyed to hear your going to give it some well deserved attention soon.
that damn trim piece on the nav station pole has been making me crazy for years... I know you're trolling me/us, Mads!
Hey Ava, I´m so glad you´ve got mads on your side. He´s a real, sometimes even quirky, but absolutely unique and adorable personality. Honor his nooks and crannies with every fiber of your heart, even if theres maybe somewhere hidden dust and grime... ;)
Hey Mads, I bet you already know, it´s always beauty which captures our attention, but only personality can conquer a heart. Ava got both, for sure, so take good care of her, ma´dude! - I love your journey so far, take care and wish you both an extraordinary happy new years eve, you lovebirds. ;)
Merry Christmas to the crew. Mads is super articulate and relatable. To me that is his best attributes.
Ahhh, Goldspar. My bench tops have got ten glorious coats on em!.
I appreciate that you sand between coats. Will always leave a better product.
I speculate during a u tube production there is a certain amount of staging. In Mad’s case, the saloon staging is ah natural. Good job mate. 👍👍
Great work . Made my Christmas. Look forward every week to your new video . Thanks
Looking forward to next week. Have a Happy Christmas.
Made I can't help but be impressed with your consistent positivity while tackling project after project. You are an inspiration to us all!
Merry Christmas from some Canadians in the Bahamas!
My rule for using Cetol is I use it for any exterior teak trim or brightwork. It protects the wood against the weather and sun and should last you around 3 years. I use it on my companionway hatch, trim and stairs because it is also quite scuff-resistant. When you’re ready to refinish, it comes off easily with a pull scraper or an electric palm sander. It’s not for everybody but for exterior, I always get compliments on the brightwork. I like your two-part finisher for interior teak and brightwork. The sealer you used should be used prior to staining raw boards. It prevents the stain from making obvious variations in permeable wood surfaces where more stain will soak into edge grain and less will soak into harder surface grain. The sealer will also act as a good base coat for varnishes, but it cannot be used to build up a thick varnish top coat.
I feel the same way in regards to cetol. Lots of catboat guys use it for outside wood and get a good 2-3 years where varnish is a half season. Definitely more a paint that mimicks varnish than a real varnish.
All this time,had no idea Mads was gangster?Yet still fears Ava.
Wow, Mads, you have really stepped up your camera skills! Your vlogs just keep getting better and better. And speaking of better, the varnish-palooza and freezer lid project look amazing! I can't wait to see the final result. Keep up the great work and happy holidays to you and your loved ones!
Looking forward to your aft-cabin work. Merry Xmas to you and your families!
Merry Christmas from Australia Melbourne 🌲🥂🍾🎉
Ohh glorious Mads. As always amazing video, thanks. Kent from sweden
Wood sealer generally is meant to seal the grain so that you get a better top coat finish. If the grain isn't sealed in some species it can absorb the varnish/stain at different rates leaving you with discoloration or splotchiness in the final product. For extremely hard woods like Teak or the type you've chosen to use (I can't remember the species, it's been so long since you were in that dope wood shop!) the grain is tight enough that the sealer generally won't have much of an effect. If you were to use it on something like Doug Fir, Mahogany or Red Cedar though it would definitely help get you an more even finish.
This is exactly the point of sealer. Some woods (birch and pine are two more examples) take stain very unevenly. Wood sealer allows a more uniform color
Merry, merry to you and Ava! 🇨🇦🎄
I love that you have carried on the DYI aspect of this UA-cam channel. It's what keeps me coming back. I think you need a bigger boat? Like a 70 footer.
nice job Freezer door looks awesome. keep up the good work. Want more from Avas trip if she can share.
Sikkens Cetol is not my favourite, but, that said, the pigment is required for extended UV protection. Rubbing down between coats is a requirement! To avoid dust a sponge backed scourer and isopropyl alcohol can be used which flats the surface nicely and cleans it at the same time - wipe off while still wet with a soft dry cloth, you should also check compatibility of the solvent first, but I've never had problems. 2 part lacquers are in a different league in terms of mechanical durability, but not always against UV. Enjoyed the video and I like the slightly grainy finish, so there you go!
Glædelig jul, Mads og Ava. Håber i kommer godt igennem og får fejret både jul og nytår med dem der står jer nærmest!
Glædelig jul, Allan! :)
love your humour and style Madz, happy christmas to you and Ava from Scotland
Merry Christmas, safe travel for you two.
Snitches get stitches. Mads is gangsta AF.
It's been awhile since I got stitches....
I’d buy a “oh glorious plywood fun” tshirt!! 😅
Merry Christmas Mads and Ava
Hope you have a great Christmas!
Mads, your secrets are safe with me.
Merry Christmas. 🎅🎅🎅
Marry X-mas Mads 🎄🎅🏻
I'm with you on the Cetol product. On the video it seems more orange ish than the varnish. The rest of the project is looking spiffy.
I agree, I have never had good results with Cetol. It is not clear or amber.
Cetol has held up very well on teak handrails on a friend’s boat here in Seattle. Full sun and water exposure haven’t harmed it over two years.
I would add some kind of hanger for the freezer cover to hake totally hands free. The lesson for the day is that if you like a product, stick with it! LOL!! Great progress!
Merry Christmas, Ava and glædelig jul, Mads. This was a great episode and our lips are, of course, sealed. I keep forgetting to suggest that you get yourself a set of self-centering drill bits. They are inexpensive but will increase accuracy and reduce time spent when installing hinges so very much a worthwhile investment.
Merry Christmas
Great content Madds. Keep it up for those of us living vicariously through you.
Yess I kept refreshing waiting for this one GLORIOUS love my weekly dose
Have a Merry Christmas Mads!
Merry Christmas!
Boat looks amazing :)
Great video as always Mads. Wishing you and Ava a very merry Christmas, when you are back together. Plus hopefully a much more peaceful 2024 for everyone. Malcolm and Eileen.
I used Cetol once. The wood looked almost like I covered it with paint. Never again.
Great video merry Christmas to your family and you
Merry Christmas and a happy new year
Everything is starting to look spifified Mads!
Looking so good
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Yes, your oh glorious sanding between coats is a must. Well done.
By the way, I think perhaps someone didn't explain exactly the function of sand sealer to you. Yes, on most hardwood species the sealer functions to reduce the quantity of needed coats as it reduces the amount of raised wood between coats. However, on soft woods such as pine the variance in the density of these woods contributes to stain being accepted unevenly giving a very blotchy appearance. The sand sealer provides a barrier that prevents this uneven saturation. Consequently, you end up with a much more consistent finish similar to hard woods.
Nice always look forward to your vids. They are “Oh Glorious”
The advantage of cetol is speed of application and ability to hide flaws. This is why you see it mostly on older boats. The other advantage is that it's quick to reapply with little to no sanding required. I don't think it lasts any longer than a good varnish, but it applies much quicker and hides more damage then varnished us.
Merry Christmas and all the best for 2024!
Mads is just amazing, kind of miss Ava in the videos though. Cheers, and happy Christmas to all!
Merry christmas
Great video
Yay, more glorious sanding, looks great and yes please get my cabin ready! Happy Holidays to you and Ava!
Happy holidays! :D What better way to celebrate than with a bit of sanding ;)
Mads we used Cetal on our Teak rub rail and companionway . We found the Cetal to be very durable , it held up for years without the annoying striping and multicoating of exterior coated varnish . Satin varnish for interior Yes that looks great ! Happy New Year Skipper & Eva
Merry Christmas to both of you😃😃🥰🥰🎅🎅🎅
We used Setol on our cap rails for many years. Eventually they would turn very dark brown and then almost black. The other products we have used include Endeavour oil which had exactly the same affect. Other coating were 10 coats of International Spar varnish or a variation where two coats of 2 pack epoxy resin were applied to bare wood. Always sanding between coats. Eventually we gave up and 20 years on we recently replaced our teak cap rails, which are now glorious in their natural wood state. Below deck is International satin varnish. Only above deck varnish are two feature teak Dorade vents and the companionway entrance - all in high gloss.
I think the best way to build up a film thickness is with West System epoxy and their special clear hardener. After that, three coats of varnish and you have a thick, luxurious and durable finish. That said, it's not as quick as your fast dry sealer.
Looking good!
Merry christmas from Santander(spain)the most beautifull bay in the world😊
Merry Christmas Mads!!
Great work Mads , as they say happy wife , is a happy life . Have a happy Christmas and a great new year .❤👍
I'm not a sailor and don't have to live with it, it looks great to my landlubber eye.
Great job as always, oh....I'm tellin mama about the mess you made..hahahahaha Merry Christmas to you and Ava
I can't believe you know the phrase "snitches get stitches." LOL.
Merry Christmas guys
Wishing you and Ava a Merry Christmas and Best wishes. For the up coming year.
See you og glædelig jul Mads👍🏼🇩🇰
You might try Cetol's latest 'Natural Teak' formulation. Yeah, Cetol Light does exactly what you are describing - provides an orange cover & dulls the wood - not a fan. Good news is because it doesn't crack/fail like harder coatings it's pretty easy to sand a bit off (every 1-3 yrs) w/ an easy recoat. So unless you're up for some oh glorious sanding back to raw wood I'd suggest trying the Natural Teak... bonus, it has a satin finish. Not as clear as varnish/poly but much easier to maintain in high weathering areas.
Merry Christmas Mads and Ava - thanks for all the great videos.
Going on 11 years ago i bought my current boat, which was stored inside at the time, here on the Great Lakes. I was able to sand down all of the exterior bright work to bare wood (teak). I applied 3 coat of Cetol light marine (like you have) and 2 coats of the clear sealer over. I went 5 years before having to touch up anything. Now, at spring launch time I just sand down any areas that have gotten a ding or something that broke the coating and reapply a patch. I did a test starting 3 years ago with some samples of wood with 3 coats each of Cetol, a marine spar vanish and another new product that was suppose to be for outdoor use but water base and water cleanup and could be recoated in about an hour. My test pieces have sitting outside for about 38 months now. Cetol is starting to show signs of breaking down but not nearly as bad as the other two. Don't worry about the 'gloss' of the Cetol. It will turn satin soon enough. The iron oxide in the pigment is what gives it the UV resistance.
A really good Christmas weekend to you and your family🧑🎄
Merry Christmas Mads. Many more for you and Ava. Stay safe!
Merry Xmas
Thanks for sharing, and Happy Holidays. Cheers.
I know your wife watches the video, but it would still be cool to get her reaction when she sees the updates in person !!! 😊
Merry Christmas, Mads and Eva!
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to both of you 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Merry Christmas to both of you, and all the best for a fantastic New Year, full of love, joy, good health, wealth, and many many adventures
Looks great overall
Tale care, and have a wonderful Christmas
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Mads and Ava. ⛵️🎄🥂

I want to wish you both a Very Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎉.
So until next week, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Cheers 🍻
Merry Christmas, Mads !

Main points of sealer. To help unify the finish and yes to prevent the need for 800 top coats because wood absorbs, and also to prevent “grain pop”
Oh, glorius stand up comedy! What entertainment! Would the Cetol have the same effect if it was put onto mahogany or perhaps a lighter wood like oak. Maybe the coloration is objectionable compared to the natural color of teak that everyone loves so much. The darker mahogony may not have the same effect. Or it could help a lighter wood blend better when used as trim for teak. It's Christmas Eve now in Michigan and I wish a very Merry Christmas to you and your wife unit!
When you get to the states check out awlgrips awlwood set of finishes. It’s a primer (there are a few color choices) and then a clear coating. Holds up fantastic and easier to spot repair than varnish. Cetol discolors overtime and is soft, which luckily makes it easier to remove :)
Yup, whenever i do lacquer i build it up thick, take it down. Build up thick again, take it down. Slowly adding up a super thick coat in very thin layers. This makes a very strong, almost glass like finish.
I think you'll appreciate the Cetol over time. It is superior for the areas exposed to the sun.
I am really looking forward to the nav station fix... that eyesore messed with my autism badly.
Cornstarch is a good flattener additive for most paints and clear coats.
I noticed a T-shirt (on another site) with the "Man glitter" sanding dust saying on it... Instantly thought of Mads!
Or scrape. You should try out some card scrapers. They work well on flat or slightly curved surfaces, save time, sandpaper, reduce dust, don't take up space, and they're not expensive.
Cetol is basically thin brown paint on wood. I've been stripping it off our boat as it was used on over 30 cabinet louvered doors. "What a pain in the behind" I'd say no
