Al, I am currently redoing all my bright work with Honey Teak. We have found that it is easier to use a bristle brush, as the product is a little runny and the foam brushes tend to get saturated with product. I don't mind the slightly orange color of the Honey, especially if it lasts three years as indicated. I can't comment on the Florida sun, but the instructions mention staying on top of the air bubbles when it is hot. Five coats can be applied in a single day with no prep in-between coats. The finish is a hard plastic shell like surface which is very forgiving and easy to patch and blend into. It can be wet sanded and buffed to polish out scratches. It is a two part urethane product similar to All-bright (I think) Ask me in three years if I like the product. Have any others used Honey Teak?
