T&T: Teak Deck repair

[Woody and Kathy]

Peter:

Nice choice on no teak deck, albeit beautiful, they do leak, repairing them
has paid for our last two boats. Neither of them having teak decks.

Boat leaks are quite sneaky, we all know that. Easy to find where the water
come out, but usually hard to find where it gets in. I have used a scuba
cylinder for a compressed air source to feed LOW pressure air into the
coming out end, and a soapy deck and a helper to spot the bubbles
successfully.  I have been surprised at how far away  from the exit point
the bubbles appear. Cap't Tolley's Creaping Crack Cure works very well on
the small crack leaks, nobody has had me back to refix one yet.

Hope you find your leak.
