Teak deck laminated with epoxy

[Man Overboard]

Will a teak deck laminated in place using epoxy (no fasteners), delaminate in the tropics do to heat?

[Gypsie]

The wood moves and the epoxy does not, something has to give. Use Sika 298 with appropriate primas and follow the instructions and all will be fine.

Epoxy, under teak will reach 150 degrees in the tropics, which is the point it begins to loose it's grip on things. This coupled with the poor performance of epoxy with teak and other oily woods, forces me to recommend a polysulfide. There are several available for this task, 298 is well recognized in the industry.
