The teaks sure looks nice when it looks nice, but sometimes I wish I just had a fiberglass deck.
Thankfully it's only in the cockpit.

My
Cockpit had the usual loose
teak seen in most older boats.
I removed carefully the bungs in the planks that hide the screws, and removed as many as I could. NOTE: number your planks in the order they were removed, this will insure the go back in properly!
Ground off the non removable ones cleaned and properly prepped the cockpit area.
I then used the
teak epoxy adhesive to re-attach them. Being sure to space and float the teak strips evenly, less
sanding.
This adheres the teak to the
deck solidly, as well fill in any holes that may leak,
seals water out.
Then caulked between the seams, sanded rebunged the holes.
No more holes or
leaks.
Came out very nice.
