Last week-end we started one of our winter projects which to send our Teak deck to the skip.
Unfortunately the teak was poorly laid by some previous owner, has worn thin and leaks through into the cabin.
Initially we planned to remove all the wood then attack it with sanders to get rid of all the residue before painting it with epoxy with non slip additive. (After sealing the sieve)
However, not that we have started we see that the deck has that moulded diamond pattern non-slip effect and we are wondering if it is worth trying to retain this. If so, there are a couple of questions.
1. How do we easily get rid of the sika/clone bonding. I have searched the forum and some people say meths works, others suggest acetone. I approached Sika and they are unable to advice me at all.
2. Assuming that I can clean it up OK, if I paint it with an epoxy, will I end up losing that diamond pattern anyway. If so, I may as well just sand the whole thing flat and go ahead with my initial plan.
Any suggestions?
