Default New teak decks over old teak decks



I provide teak decking for the DIY folks and have received several inquiries
regarding laying thin (1/4") teak strips over an existing failed teak deck.
Traditionally laid teak decks primarily fail because caulking separates or
the bungs loosen and water corrodes the fasteners that then enters the
subdeck. In theory.... securing all loose decking, filling voids and then
rough sanding the existing teak deck should provide a sound subdeck to
adhere the new 1/4" decking to.

Does anyone in this forum have experience regarding adhering new teak over
an existing teak deck ? Especially interested if someone has done this 10
years ago.




.......Ken
