i have a 38 rival sailboat with solid glass side decks. on top of the
deck was teak which i have removed and im almost finished fairing.i
plan on using interlux brightside witn intergrip added for non skid
properties. with the deck being solid glass there is some flexing when
i walk on the deck. does anybody think i will have problems with the
paint cracking or falling off? under the deck the hull to deck joint is
glassed together with about 6 inches of overlap then a small stringer
running from stern to bow,then there is about 6 or 7 inches of solid
glass until you reach another stringer at the edge before the radius to
form the coach sides then roof. the flexing is mostly in the 6 or 7
inches between the hull to deck joint and the radius. im sure teak had
no structural purpose only non skid and looks. if anybody has any
advice or comments it would be greatly appreciated. shpuld i ad more
glass under the deck? and more stringers running from the deck joint to
the inner edge? or perhaps core the entire area between all the
bulkheads? or just leave it be and hope the paint does nt crack or peel
off.
