There are a number materials suitable for teak deck caulking,some are less successfull than others,some require a primer which is a bit of a pain,some are quite happy to bond to wood,steel and alloy with no primers,which makes more sense to me.
Left click the pictures for a closer look at the details.
A new laid teak deck we supplied all the materials to,this was fairing compounds,epoxies,marine plys to BS1088 and the kiln dried teak,which was imported specially for this boat.The deck grooves have been filled with the black deck caulk,which will take some days to cure prior to sanding clean.
New teak decking,even with the black caulk sticking up looks good,this cruising boat will soon be on its way to new places to drop anchor in.
This laid teak foredeck was not an easy job,check the bend of the planks moving forwards,the bend is too tight,so each plank had to be cut from a wider board to make the radius,its then edge scarphed into the plank behind it.
How hard can this be (just try it)
