    Good Morning Andy,

    That is a great tip with the fine line tape, I had to do my sailboat pilot house deck twice ( poor choice of caulking— silicone) and it was a bitch getting it off the bottom. Thanks for the tip, I will use it on the swim step on the Cruise a Home.
    I agree sanding the cured caulk is much faster than taping, and I don’t care how careful you are, that goo on the tape gets every were when you pull it.

    Thanks
    Allen

    Andy… Just became a Patreon! Question about refinishing my teak deck. Boat is 38 years old, I have a LOT of screws showing, and my teak appears thin. Thinking of extracting the screws — or drilling thru them — and plugging holes with bungs. I just don’t think there’s enough wood left to sink the screws deep enough for the bung to go above them. Any advice?

    Hi,
    Thank you so much for all your time and craftsman ship, teaching and sharing your wisdoms.

    I am replacing around a dozen teak planks on my Swan 431,
    Re- seeming and replacing old plugs in the TEAK Deck

    Question:

    1, How do I go about replacing the curved teak planks?
    (Do I need to steam, the planks ?).

    2, I am in Sthrn California , Do you have any suggestions where I buy and what type /specs of Teak I should be buying for the replacement planks?

    3, I am thinking about replacing the most outside plank with a slightly raised teak plank, and then varnishing it . Do you have any thoughts ?

    Thank you.

    Anthony

    I have been watching your video for a few years now, and your knowledge and craftsmanship have helped me so much.

    Also, just wondering why you don’t use the Teak Decking systems
    “sausage” and the pneumatic gun?

    I have been injecting CPES into each slot and let dry then add thin tape proir to fill. Do your think this is a good benefit to holding water out.?

    That was beautifully done. Once the sanding was done, did you oil the deck or stain it?
