Author	Topic:   Thanks, for deck caulking tip!
Bulldog	posted 07-08-2006 05:14 PM ET (US)         I'm not sure who had posted about using masking tape to caulk the cockpit cover, but I would like to thank you! I just finished installing new deck plates and caulking the seams on the floor. I used color matched caulk from Twin Cities Marine and taped both sides of every seam,then laid a bead of caulk. I used a popsicle stick to wipe the joints, right after doing that I pulled up all the tape, perfect job! Total time including cleaning out seams and taping was about 65 minutes! Deck plates took longer but also came out nice...................Jack
