2. Boat, Wood
Topside seams open. Scrape out old caulking with a beer can opener and prime seams with paint. Smooth on glazing compound or marine-grade trowel cement. Let dry. Sand and apply a second coat of paint. Fill in any remaining cracks or depressions with more glazing compound. Sand when dry and apply final coat of paint. Bottom seams open. If it is a racing boat, treat seams as above. Otherwise, after scraping seams open and priming, fill with glazing compound and groove it mward slightly to allow for swelling of the planks. Let dry.

Cut or bore holes to expose the insects' tunnels. Then treat with Calignum as above. Seams in wood deck open. See
