I seem to be having a hard time finding the joint material that goes between the teak and the fiberglass. Anyone have a good source for that? My bulkheads were replaced and that was left out.

Also, what does everyone recommend for deck repair? I have a damaged spot that is exposing the core about a quarter inch square.

Thanks.

If your referring to the "welt piping" that goes between the side of the hull and the bulkhead your can probably get it at a local auto upholstery shop, Westmarine, or maybe even Autozone.

Here's a place online that yo can order it from but be aware I've never heard of this place (just stumbled across it doing a search) so order at your own risk.

Marine-Tex should work for making the deck repair. Order a tube of matching gel-coat from Catalina Direct to finish it off.

My welt piping looks larger than what they show.

Try RV stores. It cuts down on creaking while sailing but is not required. Show us the deck with a photo.

The teak in the photo looks moldy.

I would get you a photo, Frank, but I am heading out of town and the boat is in covered storage. I will try to remember when I get back.

I suppose its possible. The boat has been in covered, heated storage for several years and I didn't see that with the naked eye. I'll have to look closer when I return.

I wonder if small diameter pipe insulation would work? You know that spongy stuff that comes in about 8 foot lengths for a few bux and has a split along the length. You might be able to squeeze it around the edges of the bulkhead. Anyway, maybe worth a try since cost is not much.

Make your own welting. Buy the appropriate vinyl, cut into strips and wrap it around foam piping cord - available where they sell upholstery. Use a double-sided tape called Seamstick to hold it together and then staple it to the panel edges in a few places before you install them. It will be less kinky around the corners and better quality than the original.
