Need recommendations for seams in the new teak side decks. The candidates
with estimated material cost a
Boat-Life pourable two part polysulfide $496
DetCo pourable two part polysulfide ???
Maritime Wood Products one part silicone $605
Teak Decking Systems SIS 440 ???
Teak Deck Company silicone $424

The silicones are prepacked in tubes or sausages which makes them a little
less messy.

I would use a polyurethane like Sikaflex 290 DC, it has high UV light
resistance, easy to sand and elastic enough to adhere and expand.
Teak decking systems product is also a polyurethane, I believe. An
established teak deck installer I know uses Teak Decking System product for
their decking projects.

My advice, reardless of the caulking product you choose, is to finish sand
your decks first and then caulk.
