Title: Deck Repair
Post by: Zog on March 18, 2014, 12:53:51

Soo my deck IS actually too small for my boat because it is now showing tears on it, what would one recommend to repair these ickle holes and does anyone have any?

What I've done is to sew the tears with dental floss and to then cover over the repair with aquaseal*.




*perhaps black-witch is the more correct product to use here, but aquaseal worked well for me.

I believe I have heard Marie say similar things regarding her repairing her deck.

Oh wise elder thank you for your input, I intend to, but it'd be nice to have the other deck in working order for polo and the likes.

You clearly need some deck sealant, I recommend this type. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Bg586-wl38)
