* Teak decking battens are ideal for cockpit bench seating. To determine the number of pieces required, divide the width of your seating area by 2.06 inches and round off to the nearest whole number. You can adjust your spacing slightly to have the battens fit evenly into the area required. The battens should be adhered to the fiberglass bench surface with a polyurethane adhesive such as Sikaflex 290 DC. When using an adhesive with teak always wipe the teak with a good solvent, such as methyl hydrate, to remove the natural oils. Lightly sand the fiberglass where the adhesive will make contact and then adhere the decking battens into place using 3/16" spacers to insure proper placement. Weigh the teak battens down with concrete building blocks until well cured. If you intend to caulk the spacing gap you can use wood screws with 1 inch diameter fender washer to drill into the gap between each batten to hold the battens securely while the adhesive sets. Remove the screws and washers and then apply masking tape on either side of the gap prior to applying the caulk. Remove the masking tape *immediately* after caulking and your job is done.
