Sika stopped importing a product for this application. The TDS product didn't seem to be as messy as the polysulfide goos. When sanded you get crumbs. One option I don't recommend is graphite in epoxy. The dust stains the teak. I am leaning towards the TDS product. Epoxy/graphite was eliminated in the first round. Besides being even nastier than 5200 it is just counter intuitive. Wood moves. Epoxy doesn't. That seems like a sure setup for cracks. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.
