I fully agree that Semco is the best choice
It looks great, can be reapplied quickly and is not slippery when wet. It also doesn’t give that orange look that Cetol will.
You do need to reapply a code every few months but that takes 15 minutes
Comes in a few colors, from clear to brown. Our use brown as it adds more color to the cheek. have use this knob for seven years.

I agree with Fletch. We use Semco on our Oceanis 440. It gives a nice slightly weathered teak finish that pretty much last a season.
We had some lifting of the black caulking in one spot and was able to clean and repair it.

Most of us do not use varnish on cockpit seata. Too slippery and it lifts on the edges where the chalking is.
You could re do them with a color other than black. Each to there own.
Don't sand to much there arent too thick.
Lots of us, including me.like the Semco teak finish. Some just oil and others use Cetol.
Perkins engine?

Subject: {Beneteau Owners} O400 Teak seats caulking
Just closed on a '94 Oceanis 400. The teak cockpit seats need revarnishing and some of the black "stripes" need to be stripped out and refilled. I could do it the easy way, and replace just the loose bits, or go all in and do the whole thing. I don't like the dark existing varnish/stain (it's really dark) and I also don't really like the black stripes. I know it's likely a Sika or Boatlife product. I'd prefer to go the "teak and holly" look you typically find on cabin soles.
Aside from the sheer lunacy of doing all the of resanding everything and digging out all the old caulk, is there any reason not to use a lighter caulking material between the teak slats (assuming it exists)? I just don't want to miss something that everyone knows, some reason why they used black.
I'm really jazzed about this new to me O400.
Cheers
Dan
