I removed all my teak, refinished it and am now ready to put it all back on. When I have mounted deck hardware I tighted down the hardware almost all the way, let the caulk firm up, and then tighten a bit more the next day. This crates a flexible seal. Is teak mounted the same way or can I tighted up to start with? I don't think the teak needs to flex the way some of the hardware does, but?? Thanks for any advice. Randy
