Vberth chase trim

[Jon W]

Erik's photo shows the trim fallen down with the wood block still screwed together. That wood block should be bonded to the underside of the deck.

The trim fits between the hull and a teak fascia near the overhead. It gives that gap a nice finished look. To keep it up there, but still be removable it screws into the wood blocks that are supposed to be bonded to the underside of the deck.

A thickened adhesive epoxy is also a great solution.

Thx!  OHHHHH, NOW I see.  DUH!!  Gravity.
  My misinterpretation!  Another day, another thing learned.

(What confused/mislead me is I have something very similar to your pic.  A lower teak trim against a shelf on the liner (like where your cover strip is sitting) and an upper teak trim against the underdeck as in your pic.))

Three of my blocks had come down. I glued them back up w 4200, and they've been happy ever since.

jon : Yes, 3M4200 works nicely or even contact cement will hold those blocks in place!!

A thought

[ewengstrom]

Been following this thread since I've done several of these myself, It'd be interesting to know what Catalina used for these blocks originally but I suspect the truth is that it was pretty much anything that would fill the void and adhere to both surfaces. I'm pretty sure that the ones on our 88 were/are held up with some sort of two part body filler, it dries very quickly and adheres well and is moisture proof and has mostly held up well...except for a few.
I personally used Construction Adhesive after roughing everything up very well, once cured I gave everything a good whack and they held like....well....like they'd been glued on!!!

Just my thoughts on this one.
