I'm working on a project in Vancouver BC in which the client wants an
exterior deck in which they want 3/4"x2 3/4" solid teak strips epoxies to

2
laminated 3/4" shts of Marine plywood. They want the joints between the
strips to be bonded with Sikyflex caulking with no seems as on a boat

deck.
I was wondering if you could use regular biscuits joiners exteriorly,or
would they swell to much more than the teak & create problems as this is a
very wet climate,also what is the best epoxy?I thought the biscuits would
help keep the planks even as I can't use screws to keep them down to
set.Thanks


The only reliable way to do this is to vacume the teak down.

No seams?
you mean the teak is tight edge to edge with the next plank?
You should have about a 5mm gap between each plank and the botton of the gap
should be masked so the sickieflex bonds only to the sides... not to the
bottom of the seam
