[PSUBS-MAILIST] Deck

[Rick Patton via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Michael

I actually did that on a previous sailboat deck and it worked great after
all the loose sand had finally was gone but I don't want to paint the wood
as it is teak. I think the surface is rough enough as is though it would
not be the case if I had varnished it.
