Replacing worn teak deck bungs prevents water intrusion and protects the underlying screw heads on traditional screwed-down teak decks. To identify failing bungs, probe them with a flathead screwdriver; movement, a metallic sound against the screw head, or black discoloration around the perimeter indicates a compromised seal.17:32 Remove damaged bungs by carefully prying them out, ensuring the surrounding teak remains undamaged. When replacing, use flathead screws rather than Phillips or Torx heads, as the latter fill with epoxy and complicate future removal.5:06 Coat new bungs in epoxy thickened with cotton and teak dust for color matching, then tap them into place.13:32 Allowing the epoxy to cure overnight before chiseling the bungs flush prevents fresh adhesive from smearing across the deck.11:28 Use a sharp chisel to cut the bungs level with the deck surface, paying close attention to grain direction to avoid splintering the wood below the deck line.16:55 Finish the surface with 80-grit sandpaper.15:52
