Rather than recaulking, should I consider synthetic teak and forgo caulk completely? Please, no comments on personal preference for teak. I get that some folks would never consider this. I am looking for technical pros and cons.
I recaulked my sundeck a couple if years ago. It was literally the worst job I have ever done on the boat or any of the previous 22 boats we have owned. Maybe my age and poor back condition is part of why this was so bad. I will never do it again. I would tear off the teak and lay some glass down and the Kiwigrip the deck.
