Having just been through a big teak deck re-caulking project, done in stages this year I can attest that the Boat Life Teak Deck caulk is very messy and takes time to cure and is a little trickier to sand. You have to get the Teak Deck flavor. On stage two, I found a guy with a Fein Multimaster that had the little hook like attachments that made getting the old caulk out cleanly a dream. He swore by the Teak Decking Systems product, which seems not as messy, cures faster and sands nicely. Stage three, I had a carpenter with a lot of deck experience in to finish re-bunging and re-screwing and check integrity. He swears by the Life Caulk product and I could not get him to use the TDS any more than I could get the other guy to use the other. I like the TDS better myself but the proof will be in the next five years. You sure don't want to get any of this stuff on your paint job.
