T&T: teak deck

[Peter Gelinas]

Jeez ..

Why not rip up the teak deck and sell the teak? You'll get much more than $100
for it.

or

If you are really going to cover a teak deck, why not just get a 5 gallon
bucket of driveway sealer and trowel it out with a squeegie? (smile)

On the serious side, there is a product called 'Rhino hide' which might work
for you. I believe it is latex based because it remains flexible. There are
various variations of the product, including one which the owner of Rhino hide
suggested I could use as an engine room sound dead'ner. I used the 'fine'
granule product 'Safe traks II' as the covering for a gangplank. 4 years of
hot sun later, the surface is still in perfect 'non skid' condition.

If you are really going to cover that teak, why not do it with a non skid
product

West Marine used to sell one which also had a rubbery non-slip product in it
and my neighbor that used it said it sealed up his deck leaks.> > Of coarse, a
thin sheet of plywood, nailed down and covered with epoxy and glass will work
well, especially if the end grain is coated with glass and epoxy in a manner
that is compatible with the construction of the boat.

woodie that I inheireted. She has teak foredecks that are in need of work. I
don't want to spend much money to seal the deck for a boat of this value. I
have looked into a resin product covered by a polymer. Someone on the list
told me of a person who used truck bed liner material. Each would probably
work and just keep the weather out of the cabin. I just don't want to spend
$500 bucks on a $100 boat. You know what I mean? Anyway, if you have a cheap
alternative, I'd listen.
