Teak caulking replacement suggestions

(1/2) > >>

Stuart:
Hi All

Anyone out there replaced the caulking between the teak in the cockpit. Ours is starting to break down ( leaves black marks on anything that rubs against it) and needs replacing. I will be using the Fein tool to remove the old stuff and was wondering if anyone has some suggestions, through personal experience, what to use as a caulking.

Brian:
I have a similar issue, and have started to replace small patches of the cauking with sikaflex.  I cleaned out the old soft material, masked up either side and then filled.  When the sikaflex has hardened ( 3-4hrs depending on temperature), rub down with wet and dry to a smooth finish.

Odysseus:
I used sikaflex (black) and it worked just fine, it looks shiny when you first put it on but after a few days blends in well.

Same proceedure as Brian used.

Stuart:
Hi Brian and Odysseus

Thanks for the reply. Was it the sikaflex deck caulking that you used ?

Odysseus:
It was the standard marine sikaflex for chaulking cannot remember the number but it cost 14 euros in France.
