Foredeck Teak Strips - Page 2

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.

Yes and Starboard does expand and contract so it will be better to just do the screws when installing.

MACOJOE:

I KNOW THAT I'M LATE IN THIS DICUSSION, BUT I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW THESE STRIPS CAME OUT SINCE IS THE ONLY TEAK I HAVEN'T REPLACED BECAUSE
I'M AFRAID THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE THE ORIG. TEAK SHAPE, DID YOU SHAPED THE STARBOARD LIKE THE ORIGINAL STRIPS?

DID YOU MAKE THEM FOR ANYBODY ELSE? HOW MUCH WOULD YOU CHARGE?

If anyone need those teak strips I got mine form my 20. Just let me know.

I also have the teak that goes around the cabin entry and the teak that holds the carpet against the cuddy walls.

STINKY:
MINE ARE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE, BUT I WANT TO REPLACE THEM WITH STARBOARD, BUT IN WANT THEM TO LOOK ORIGINAL SHAPE.

THANKS FOR THE OFFER, ANY IDEAS?

Ok I just saw this.

Yes they are made of 3/4 starboard and they are easy cut on a table saw.
Then you take a router and cut a grove in the bottom and round the edges.

I then took some thin 1/8 Alum angle (get at any hardware store) and riveted it to the edges of the sliding hatch.

It goes under the new strips and slides in the grove you routered in the bottom.

Works great and looks good also!

I don't see that I have a finished pic?? But here are some for a look.
