Jorgerivadeneira Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 I’m planning on putting some SeaDek under my gunnels and I just had a random question, I was wondering if SeaDek holds moisture underneath. Does water penetrate through the material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 No, closed cell so does not hold water. The only way water would get under is if it lifts and not adhered properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vapor Trail Posted April 23, 2019 Report Share Posted April 23, 2019 If the edge of the Seadek isn't cut wide enough to get substantially past the nonskid I think water would get underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplec Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Negative. Had mine down 8 maybe 9 years and over non skid with no water intrusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Seither Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Jorge, direct quote from the Seadek site SeaDek is a nonabsorbent, closed cell PE/EVA blended material specifically formulated for marine applications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
