I've heard about something called a teak trunnel. It is shaped and sized
similar to a golf tee and takes the place of both the screw that holds a
teak plank to the deck and the plug that covers the screw. So for basic
teak deck maintenence you would back the screw out, put epoxy in the hole,
put epoxy on the trunnel, and put the trunnel in the hole. When the epoxy
has set, the excess trunnel can be cut down to deck level. Two of the
advantages of this method are supposedly that the trunnel wears down evenly
with the deck and it doesn't expand/contract like metal screws.
Does anyone have experience with this? I was told that these trunnels are
sold by someone in Fort Lauderdale. Anyone know who?
Thanks,
