So, I think I know the answer to this, but maybe this is something new I haven't heard about yet. Im looking at a
boat that has
teak decks, and all the bungs have been removed and round
head screws up in (stainless of course) I assume coated in sikiflex or similar. My understanding of this is that its a trainwreck, and you have just allowed
water into the balsa
core. As the
wood and the metal expands and contracts at different rates, and the
sealant will eventually break and
water will get in, the way to fix it is to remove all screws, fill with thickened expoy, drill, rescrew with flat
head screws, then replace all bungs epoxinging them down.
Am I wrong? Is this a viable way to fix leaky teaky decks? with round head screws and no bungs?
