Ernie: The fabric is likely Sunbrella. Either contact a local canvas shop or reach out to Sailrite.com DON'T use silicone!!! (Only one place silicone is used and not never no no no for deck hardware.) Use Sikaflex 291 or 3M 4000/4200 (not 5200!). The better is the _black_ Sikaflex as it sticks better to teak than than the white. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: Baba 30 #233 DEJA VU :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com <<-- new site!

Hello All,
Two quick questions:
1. I am adding a cushion to the 'empty' spot in front of the porta-potty. I would like the fabric to match the rest of the cushions. On my 2007 M-15, the fabric is plum/dark burgundy in color. Can someone tell me where I can source the same, of similar fabric?
1. I removed all wood trim this winter for a thorough cleaning and refinish. I am about ready to reinstall and understand that one is 'supposed' to use a marine-grade (white) silicon as a sealant. When using the sealant, is there a trick to ensure not too much oozes out and thereby stains the newly finished wood and surrounding surfaces? I have used silicone sealants around the house, and am familiar with their composition. Is it as simple as not applying too much, or does one use painters tape to mask/protect, or other tricks?
Regards,
Ernie
