What would anyone suggest to use to fill the groves in the deck of an
antique boat. I have an old wood boat that has those groves with some
type of white material in it, on the deck. They shellacked the deck over
the white material and the shellac is not adhering and there are chucks
out, so I need to re "caulk"


I don't know if a special filler is used or what it is, if any.

Our Grand Banks had black filler between the outside teak deck planks. I
replaced a rotted plank on one of the lazaret hatches and used black silicon
rubber to replace the filler. Once it dried and aged a bit, you couldn't
distinguish it from the rest of the deck filler.
