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...

I got the matches. ;-)

Once you fellows have been on the polyester too long all sense of aesthetics
and appreciation for the natural sems to just slip away.
Ahh, it's okay........we know you'll eventually get bored with those smooth
legged fillies and be seen casting your eye lovingly over an old woody with
'lots of character'.
