What would anyone suggest to use to fill the groves in the deck of an
antique boat. *I have an old wood boat that has those groves with some
type of white material in it, on the deck. *They shellacked the deck over
the white material and the shellac is not adhering and there are chucks
out, so I need to re "caulk"
I don't know if a special filler is used or what it is, if any.
Our Grand Banks had black filler between the outside teak deck planks. *I
replaced a rotted plank on one of the lazaret hatches and used black silicon
rubber to replace the filler. *Once it dried and aged a bit, you couldn't
distinguish it from the rest of the deck filler.

What's needed is a permanently elastic marine deck caulk. There are
several manufacturers. One of my first "jobs" at my father's boat store
when I was about nine or 10 was putting decorative caulk in the seams of
front decks on Wolverine boats. We never shellacked those decorative
"stripes."
We used white caulk. Looked pretty.- Hide quoted text -
