We noticed a little puddle of water next to one of the stanchion plates on the teak cap rail.* We kept mopping it up and water would reappear.* So today we removed the stanchion and water gushed out.* How in the world can water get inside a hollow stanchion that is bedded to teak rails top and bottom?
Questions:
1.* should stanchions be removed periodically to let out water?
2.* our stanchion has a top plate that is flat.* The bottom plate is convex.* With what material should we bed the stanchions and how (Is 3m 101 ok?) Should there be a way for water to escape?
Thanks a bunch!
