Replacing teak steps. What “glue”?

[DavidJ]

I‘m replacing my teak steps with the same (still available complete from good ‘ol Nick Seabridge)
They are I believe on a 6mm plywood (hopefully marine ply) backing.
Whats the best way to scrap off the old stuff? Hammer and chisel or one of those vibrating multi tools.
Then what‘s best to stick down the new
and finally what Sikaflex for a neat and watertight edge.

I‘m sure this is all available on Hurricane’s mega project but I can’t find it.

Anything else I need to know?

Cheers
David

I always end up using a multi tool with appropriate blade when trying to remove glues and sealants. Not sure what best to stick it down with, but if you are getting Sikaflex for the edge then some beads of that underneath would be pretty effective IMHO.

Thanks. You just rescued my post from disappearing off the end of the page.
I‘ll take my multitool out next time.
I was wondering if to go Sikaflex (298 seems to be the one) or a more modern “Sticks Like **** Turbo” product with better grab and faster setting.
