Default Teak seam caulk

That should be OK, as long as it's between consenting
adults.


.... if you sand the teak deck first and then caulk
with your 'goo of choice' your caulking should set a masking tape thickness
'proud' of the deck, affording you with a wee bit more traction. Aye, and
that wee bit can make all the difference.


Part of my heresy is that I've believed since early in my
experience of teak decks, that the seam compound was the
major (if not the only) part of the teak providing any grip
whatever.

Why not just put strips of rubber compound on a fiberglass
deck, and paint it brown... um wait a minute, is this an
orthodox crowd? I don't want to get burnt at the stake...
