Caulking a teak strip deck
Can anyone tell me if it is necesary to use the bond breaking tape
between slats? The 6mm (square edge, not rebated) strips have been
laid onto a ply deck using epoxy with 5mm spacers. The problem for me
is that my suppliers don't sell the stuff (ok I can get around that)
but there is loads of squeezed out epoxy left in the bottom of the
groove, so to get the tape flat is going to be a nightmare. I know
it's necessary if you're using rebated strips, but will the Sika
caulking really stick to the epoxy enough to cause a problem? I seem
to get conflicting replies, even from the professionals.
Cheers Pete
