original laminated teak and holly wood floor. Photo attached, but it looks decent from there after one coat of teak oil. The problem is the middle is very bouncy, and toward the bottom by the step sometimes the edge of the teak has water over it from rain. This caused the edge to delaminate, and I got a syringe full of wood glue and worked it around under the delaminated area and then put wax paper and weights on it. Worked great. So now it looks good, but I don't want it to take on water and delaminate again.
Is coating this whole thing with penetrating epoxy worth it?
Will coating it with spar urethane be problematic because it flexes. i might try this on some scrap plywood and bend it to see if the urethane pops and cracks.
Or is it best to just teak oil it like crazy until its a lot more waterproof? doesn't seem like teak oil would be enough for if it is submerged under water for a few days.
a companionway cover is in the works. Thanks
