It's not a good site but here it is. http://www.teakdecking.com/ Did you have
an opinion on Flexiteek? I understand Teakdecking will be even more expensive.

Good luck,

Ray

I can't see any reason to lay down more glass except in some
small areas where some lifted off when the wood was removed.
The way my boat was built was such that the buyer could choose
between a wood deck or painted/nonskid deck when the boat was
ordered. Under the wood is a very substantial deck complete
with gelcoat. If it wasn't for several areas of questional core and
damaged gelcoat, all I would have to do is fill the screw holes and
paint.

Ouch! My plan is to just fill the screw holes, fix any damaged core,
sand, paint and non-skid. I've already gotten all the wood off last
fall. Just waitin the weather to warm up a bit now.

Good plan.
But I would consider putting down a layer or two of glass before you
paint.

Go for the environmentally sound option, a teak tree will take about 300
years to grow and about 30 years to be destroyed on your decks. Personally I
think they look much nicer growing. And they provide oxygen while doing so
which can be quite handy if you like to breathe..

I am considering replacing a painted deck with a product called
Teakdecking out
of Florida. A pattern is made of the deck then sent to Teakdecking to
create
teak panels for installation. The panels are expoxied to the deck and
vacuum
bag. No mechanical fastners are used.

It is going over a solid deck, weighs less than a handlaid teak deck and
has no
screws going into the deck.

Does anyone have any experience with this particular product. I have also
looked at a product called Flexiteek which isn't teak at all but a
composite
material that looks exactly like teak.

Well spoke, Bill. Getting so the enviros are as ubiquitous and as intrusive
as the Jehovah's Witnesses.

While they can be a PITA, at least they are concerned about this world
and not the next. Last time I checked, I sail in this world.

I have nothing against many enviormental groups, in fact I'm all for them, it's
just many of the come off as totally clueless and inacturate and that just
weakens their case/cause.
