Teak Deck Rebuild – Part 3

Things are progressing nicely and I’m starting to figure out the process.  I was able to finish the 2nd, smaller hatch in about 3 days (roughly 10 hours of work).  I brought the two finished hatches to the boat and installed them and they look really good.  The new teak is gonna restore some of Treylya’s former beauty.  I removed two more of the hatches and brought them home to work on.

This one was on the starboard side and though it wasn’t damaged there was only about 3 mm of thickness of teak remaining over the crappy presswood veneer so to keep the look consistent I’m redoing this one as well.

Today I was able to scrape both of the hatches to the fiberglass and do the outer border of one of the hatches.IMG_20160228_184808.jpg

I’ll finish laying the teak tomorrow on that one and do the sanding and chalking when that drys.  I should be able to finish and install those two by this weekend and that’ll be the end of the removable hatches and I will only have the two longer seats remaining which are fixed to the boat.  I’ll need to wait for some nice weather to finish those.
