[Public-list] teak deck caulk

 I can't tell you if using regular caulking will hold the teak in place, but 
I used the Boatlife 2 Part Teak Deck Caulk when I redid all the seams on my 
teak deck. It works just fine for this application. I believe that the 
Gourgeon Brothers suggest setting the teak strips in thickened epoxy to hold 
them in place, then just caulk the seams. Believe me when I say that I wish 
my teak decks were epoxied in place rather than held in place with screws. 
There's a reason boats like mine got the nickname "Leaky-Teaky"
