[C320-list] Replacement teak hatch boards

[Dennis Harris]

Lowes, and other building supply houses now carry PVC boards.  I'm not sure 
whether 10" width is available.  I've bought narrower lengths for projects. 
It doesn't seem to be quite as strong and is softer than Starboard.  Also, 
some has a wood grain embossed on one side, but I have seen some that is 
smooth on both sides.

Another club member is a boss woodworker. When I complained about varnish
not holding on the bottoms of the boards where the vertical edges meet the
horizontal board, he told me that no good woodworker would design hatch
boards that way. He said that the right angle joining of grains will never
hold a varnish finish because of expansion/contraction issues.

I'm planning on replacing my boards with pvc board.  Starboard is overkill
in terms of price.  I'm still looking for a source for pvc board.  As I
recall, a width of 10" will do the job.  Any suggestions?

Take a hi-res picture of the damage to your boards and email them to
me...clburtiatgmaildotcom...I am a reasonably competent wood butcher and
there may be a reasonably easy fix.

A little belt and suspenders I guess.
