If you have had teak in the past, this would have been removed, and the fiberglass would be sanded to a 60 grit profile, paying close attention to any existing screw holes, or weak spots in the deck. Any fiberglass repair will have been finished prior to the arrival of your deck.
On delivery day, we get to lay out the teak deck, and dry fit for looks and fit. Any minor modifications to shape, and fit are done over the next few days, in preparation for adhesion to the deck
Once the spacing, position, and fit are satisfactory, we proceed to epoxy the deck in place using a 1:1 ratio of specially formulated epoxy that remains slightly malleable during its life. The nature of boats is such that a solid foundation of products that set up stiff, will almost certainly crack and fail when the boat flexes and torques during its normal usage.
After all parts of our puzzle have been adhered to the deck, 24-48 hours of dry and set up time is necessary to ensure a proper adhesion before spacers and screws are removed. At this point inspection of the seams to clear out any extra epoxy, and final spacing is conducted. We are now ready to tape off the seams and apply a bead of caulking to any of the seams open, during the process of assembly. Another 48-72 hours of dry time is allowed for the caulking to set up before any final sanding is performed
