Default Re: Foredeck Teak Strips

Fillet1:

When I reinstalled my foredeck strips after refinishing, I just ran thin beads of silicone caulk on the bottoms, not around the sides. I've never had any drips.

5200 and 4200 are primarily used where extremely strong adhesive properties are needed. That type of adhesion can create problems for items that will eventually have to be removed for refinishing or replacement. I recommend avoiding those products unless you need the adhesion. Also, UV resistance doesn't matter for caulk that's not exposed to the sun.
