Hi folks,
I am having some delamination in one of the teak ply panels on my aft stateroom door. The previous owner primed and painted all of the exterior bright work, this door included. It appeared that the paint was flaking on the panel, but when I looked closer, it was apparent that the plywood panel was delaminating.
I have two courses of action that I am considering. The first involves removing the panel and replacing it with new wood and trim, then re-painting it to match the rest. I should mention that the boat is in Mexico, so I would have to pre-cut and prime the wood and bring it with me on my next visit.
My second choice is to use penetrating epoxy on the area to stabilize the wood and stop the delamination. Then I can sand it, fill the delaminated area, and prime and paint over that. I know what I SHOULD do, but I really don't want to spend a lot of time on the project at this point. I figure that I can always remove the panel and do it right later.
Comments? Has anybody used the penetrating epoxy on their boat?
Thanks and cheers, Bill
