Hello - Question - After removing the brackets from my 88SN I filled the holes in the boat with Epoxy to firm them up. What does everyone use for a sealer when re-attaching the platform?

3M 4200 or 5200. 5200 is more of a permanent bond than the 4200.

5200 fast cure. It cures in about 1/2 the time depending on the humidity.

An update on my progress with our '94 SN swim platform: I ordered some small pieces of teak from Teak World (thanks Robin) as well as some pre-cut bungs. I carefully replaced approximately 15 screws, the ones with the protruding heads (or those that soon would be), with larger diameter and slightly short SS hardware, when necessary. I repaired the broken corner on the platform and elected to add some custom bungs (I cut the ones down that I received from Teak World using my Dremel tool—I pounded them in, broke them off once they settled, and sanded/brushed them smooth—in order to fill in the largest holes. I have continued using a brass brush, off-and-on with water, and am ready for a final round of Star Brite teak cleaner and then the brightener. I plan to then continue with the oil, dry, sand protocol, oil again ... etc., etc.
The first image shows the two largest holes that were filled nicely with the custom bungs (can't see them now):

As long as I am spending $$$, I next went with the StarBrite "Magic Scrub" pad (SS) and another round of Teak Cleaner, followed by the Brightener ... the results:
  Next, Teak Oil and the oil/sand multiples. |

Any pics of how your deck looks after the teak oil?
I am trying to convince my self to do this for my CC. I have scrub brushed it and it looks great as soon as it hits the water. But would like the looks of a brand new looking deck. |

I am long overdue on an update of this restoration (as well as some of my other posts) but our 2-week ski vacation is now behind us and I can turn my attention to "giving back" to the CCF forum. Note that after all the scrubbing, cleaning, etc. I spent a couple of MONTHS working my way through Pete's "1. Clean 2. Dry (completely) 3. Oil 4. Wet sand (with oil) 5. repeat steps 3-4" process, up to 800 grit—with letting almost a week go by between each round with the platform baking in the CO sun. As an added bonus, I had the brackets powder coated to revive them as well. Not slick at all ... perfect under the wet foot. The results:
   Finally, a couple of pictures of our platform wet and in use by our children:
