I am working on an old wooden 17ft boat. The caulk or plaster or? that fills
the groves in the deck, is chalky and falling out. I am routing the old old
stuff out but am wondering what the best product to use to refill the
groves.

First cotton, then oakum, and then pay over with pitch.

Is it white or black? How thick is the planking? Is it something like a
Chris Craft or Carver runabout or a sailboat?
