[Alberg30] Caulk, and teak oil

[greg]

Matthew... I have been redoing the seats and hatches on our newly acquired A37
'Falcon', the same way as I reworked them on our A30 Bathtub Mary #312. If the
teak is decorative I would highly recommend using West Sys. Epoxy with their
graphite powder as a filler. The seam must be clean of foreign material before
applying so your cleaning must be thorough on the existing work. When complete
it  has the appearance of a caulked seam . It is very easy to  sand smooth and
apply a finish... or not. Photos available.
