Default Teak seam caulk

There are some very good builders in these parts using the TDS SIS 440
product.
I've used it on a cockpit sole and liked it.
I used in the tubes and it applied cleanly. I didn't have the usual mess
where it ends up everywhere. Dunno why.
Sanding it off, you get easily handled crumbs. The finished surface of

the
goo is acceptably smooth with few bubbles..


It's them damned bubbles you want to avoid. Sand first, mask the caulking
groove well, apply your goo of choice, and trowel smooth.
BUT.....pull off the masking tape quickly (minutes). If you leave it seconds
too long you will end up with your goo of choice coming off with the masking
tape in fine stringers. Real hard to repair.
